I have a client running 24/7. Not long ago, I switched my VPN provider, and I noticed a lot of people queueing a folder, then cancelling once one item in the folder is fully downloaded. Reported download speed seems alright, but seeing how a lot of downloaders are doing this, I wonder if I should take this as a sign that the node is not running properly. If it's just me, then I'm open to VPN provider suggestions. I am currently using ProtonVPN.

I've done this before. Sometimes, I'll try to grab something from a few different sources because I dont know what will go fastest. Once a clear "winner" emerges, I cancel the rest. I wouldn't worry about it. And thanks for being a sharer!

You could always test things from another device in the house. Since traffic is going through the VPN, it should be about as slow as any remote user.
