I don't think 8k opened files will be enough for 10TB of torrents. Keep
in mind this is more for multi user purpose, in case someone writes and
uses a buggy program, so the whole system won't crash for other users.
If you just have single user computer it's safe to just set it to the
max limit.

I'm certain it's not a bug in qbittorrent, but rather this limit is just
very low by default for you, as I've mentioned for me it was 2^19, and
I'm on 512GB laptop.
