I am sharing about 25 albums on soulseek but my uploads are empty which as far as I know means nobody has tried to download anything from me. I don't have port-forwarding available to me, I use a VPN, and I am periodically offline. Is it really weird that nobody has downloaded anything from me or is that kind of normal?

I can't remember what the default client is like, but Nictone+ sorts by user speeds (by default). So unless people are looking for specific encodings, they're always going to download from the fastest user (the top result). If you're not among the fastest and/or don't have a niche library, you're not going to see much traffic.
