[SOLVED] Parallel Download - download speed stuck at initial speed

Greetings

I currently have four https mirrors from my country in the mirror list. I tried to switch them around already, which did'nt change anything.
I currently use

ParallelDownloads = 6

The issue:
After starting to update, the later packages start at some ~500KB/s because the earlier packages, still downloading in the list, use all my available internet connection (12.5MB/s down). After the earlier downloads finish, the package which started at 500KB/s will still download with that speed and doesn't ramp up - even though all other packages are downloaded.

Does anyone else have this "problem"?
Is this a mirror issue?

thanks.

Edit: After writing this post I thought about my vpn and will try if this persist when not downloading over vpn with the next update cycle...

Edit 2: Nevermind it is in fact the vpn that causes this problem... closed

I do not see this behaviour.
