Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.3.1 and Mac Big Sur (11.1)

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

(type here)

What is the problem

Peer list tops out at 5 for a torrent on 4.3.1 Mac (Big Sur 11.1) until change any of the drop-down list preferences to something else. Doesn't seem to matter what preference you change as long as you pick a different option. So assume its some sort of preference/setting related problem that updating any preference resolves by fixing/re-caching the preferences on Big Sur 11.1

What is the expected behavior

The torrent should have as many peers as exist (up to preference limits)

Steps to reproduce

Start 4.3.1
Add a 'popular' torrent (i.e. something with lots of peers) and look at peer list which will be a maximum of 5.
Go to preferences and change a preference such as 'Upload Slots Behavior' to another value from what is currently selected.
Look at peer list and it should now increase to many more peers and work as expected.

Extra info(if any)

Seems to be related to Big Sur 11.1 as i didn't have this problem until upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur 11.1. Seems to be the same problem on 4.3.0 as i tried older version to see if this resolved problem. Was on 4.3.1 when moved to Big Sur 11.1 and was working fine before upgrade.
