If I've to make a rough guess without looking at your exact monit configuration, I would say qbittorrent is choking the network interface, causing the wireguard packets to be delayed:
You can verify this by:
- stopping all the upload/download activity in qbittorrent
- if previous step works as expected for you, then you can implement some speed throttling in qbittorrent
You can also verifying by tcpdump-ing the underlying interface (e.g. eth0, and not wg0) for the wireguard traffic and see if it's going out, and coming back in as expected.
