I only see the fill server get used when there are errors in the download. Should be the same for you.

I had one main server and two fill servers enabled.

One of the fill server is free with little retention and I had checked "typical retention" to 10 days. I think this one and especially the option typical retention was causing troubles, because each time I enable/disable it, it will cause the other fill server to download around 50% of a file and 50% on main while it's complete on main server. So I'll stop using the free server

Get rid of the "typical retention" and this will probably go away.

Failing typical retention is like failing the server, which probably triggers the fill servers into action.
