Although your problem may be different to the one I had but your posting mirrors an experience I had with my previous ISP.

When my previous ISP introduced anti-P2P traffic shaping techniques, i.e. killing off P2P connections, my first inkling of this was when my downloads would start about 20kbs, instead of the usual 60 - 120kbs, and then rapidly drop down to 0, never to rise again.

My former ISP made no announcement and gave no warning of their intended introduction of an anti-P2P policy, they just did it.

Now, at this stage I don’t know whether or not this is your problem but it was mine.

So, I would suggest you continue to follow Birdy’s advice, in order to eliminate or cure any technical problems you may have. Afterward, if needed, phone your ISP, making sure that you speak to a technician, and ask if they are now blocking P2P traffic or port 6346.
