VPN Crashing when I d/l with SabNzbd

in Linux VPN Setup
Korra 25 (Fedora 25 Base)

I am using the Network Manager within my OS to connect to the PIA VPN.  I have had this setup for at least 2 years.  However, for some reason, recently (within the last 5 months or so) I have had periodic disconnections.  So, I've turned off the VPN and everything works perfectly.

However, I don't want to keep running without my VPN, and when I turn it on, within anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 minute, my download manager  stops downoading (doesn't crash -- but stops downloading).  I have to disconnect the VPN in order to get it working again.

Can someone please help me debug this?

    I should also mention, when my download manager (SabNzbd) stops downloading, my internet connections stops.  Iif I drop to the command line, I can't get any responses when pinging (e.g. ping 8.8.8.8).  Nothing.

    When I disconnect and reconnect the VPN connection, then it works again.  Until I start downloading again, then it stops again.

    try a different physical network interface?  if wifi, then wired.  if wired, then wifi. if wifi and no wired, then different wifi.

    It is wired and no wifi (desktop computer).

    But, as mentioned, the network works fine without the VPN.

    try using the PIA-supplied ovpn files and openvpn manually?
