(QbitTorrent) I think I'm being DDOSed? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My network has reset several times and I've narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn't help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?

Edit: Thanks everyone, it's apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. My router's log was filled with "DoS(SyN-Flooding)" messages, and according to Wikipedia that's a DDoS attack:

"DoS(SYN Flooding): IN=ppp1 OUT=br0 MAC= SRC=source-ip DST=qbt-ip LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=54 ID=52897 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=source-port DPT=qbt-port WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 MARK=0x8000000"

Maybe too many connections, use BitTorrent calculator to recommend some settlings (just input your max upload bandwidth)
