Yeah, didn't think of that. And that's very likely because with the
older stuff I normally do leave it running overnight and go to bed
with it still running.

Must try it myself and see if that happens here.

I download a lot of stuff for the kids that the copyright owners care about.

Including the latest Star Wars. Shit quality, HD camera in a picture
theater but some of the kids don't give a damn about the quality.

Even if the vpn does drop out sometimes, that would still be better
than never bothering to use a vpn. Its mostly the much older stuff
that I need to do overnight and they aren't anything like as likely
to care.
