Can someone explain this?
qBittorrent still shows my torrents as being seeded when not using port forwarding.
See my response to feebleneedle. No port forwarding limits connections
Neither me nor my friend set up port forwarding and it still worked.
It worked because the other people you connected to opened up a port themselves.
Edit: In some cases the tracker can open up a port for the peers. See https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/18977148
I was the only one seeding the torrent.
It seems like this would have something to do with the tracker that’s included when making a torrent with qbittorrent, but I don’t know much about that other than accepting the default and seeing it work.
