Ok. I made a forum account just to answer that painful question. This has happenned to me too. In order to get your p2p up again, you need to find P2P programs that support header file encryption. The reason...
Your ISP is, most likely, now filtering the traffic of their customers, throttling P2P requests to or near 0 bytes/s. How they do this is they intercept the file header of the data coming from your machine, read it, and once determined as P2P format, is then throttled to nothingness. For half a year, I endured 0-3kb/s overall speeds from Rogers. Then, I learned that Azureus has file header transfer encryption. My speeds returned to normal soon after turning it on.
Instructions:
Download latest Azureus version.
Setup as per your speed, etc. per usual.
On the menu, "Tools" --> "Options"
On options navigation to the left, "Mode".
Set user proficiency to advanced.
On options navigation to the left, "Connection" --> "Transport Encryption."
Check "Require encrypted transport", set min encryption level to "RC4", check the following two options as well. Click save at bottom left.
On options navigation to the left, "Transfer"
Check "Use lazy bitfield...." Click save at bottom left.
Hopefully, this should get you back on your feet and runnning once more. As for other P2P, prefer clients with said encryption. Can't think of any others off hand. Here's looking at you!
Atatatatatatatatatatatatatatata, atatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata, wataaaa!!!
You wa Shock!
