Does your VPN provider allow port forwarding? That’s probably the answer to this. Forward a port through the VPN provider and set the qBit listening port to the same.
The seeders and leechers number is pulled from trackers (I think?) but doesn’t accurately represent the numbers available to you unless you have port forwarding set up properly.
Edit: just my 2 cents if your provider doesn’t offer port forwarding, I use AirVPN and it’s excellent. Great speeds and it offers everything I need. My only complaint is that the website is confusing.
Nah the website displayed “seed/leech” numbers can be outdated or fudged (1337x is notorious for this) but the number you see in Qbit will be accurate, however those 9 seeds you see are either people without the complete file or people who aren’t port forwarding because “you don’t need port forwarding for torrents” and you can’t connect to them.

Vote 2 for the website being confusing… their forums remind me of the good old days of utter contempt at questions being asked 😏

Ah I see
