Noob question: When looking at the Seeds and Peers columns of qBittorrent, there are two numbers: one of which is outside the parenthesis and one is inside the parenthesis. Ex 0 (5).

What is the difference between the two numbers in each column?

That's why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is "hey I'm here". Out of parentheses number is "hey I'm here. Let me in."

For actively downloading torrents they're an indication of connection health. If there's 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.
