I now have 3 unlimited accounts and 1 block account (all on different backbones).

Some of them have multiple server options.

I know that currently this is likely overkill and would like to figure out the best way to determine which to drop before they renew.

Looking at the server data in my download client sometimes a file is completed by provider 1 but the data is split between server 1 and 2. With both of those servers connected it never changes to other providers. Should I not have multiple servers installed and running on each provider and just have one?

Sometimes the file is completed by a combination of provider 1 and provider 2 or 3.

I can obviously disable or reorder server priorities to but I'm not sure the best way to go about determining if it's worth keeping or dropping any given provider.

Speed is not an issue because they all max out my connection speed.
