Hi,

Try turning on torrent protocol encryption in your client. Usually ISPs will
mark low priority for torrent packets, turning encryption on usually
disables packets detection. If the ports were blocked on ISP end, you will
not see any traffic (d/l or u/l) in your client but since you say that the
speed is low, it can be ToS. Also, check the tracker list in your client and
see if most are working. AFAIK tpb and some major trackers have changed
their announce urls so some old torrents might become too slow.
