This is common in second part of the month.
Every time it clocks 2 AM it drops to 1-2 kbps.
After8.20 it is back
But I have got upto 240KBps around 2mbps for 1 or two nights.
It might be due to my private trackers that are way faster than public trackers.
So only hope try private trackers.

wat are private trackers...........???

I may be wrong in this but I think that private trackers are from those torrent sites that allow only 'members' to download. The membership may be free or based on invitations or 'donations' nowadays. These sites just manage the torrents and track them .. they don't host the actual files but private trackers on the whole have better speeds than public trackers where anyone can download.
Members only sites also have certain rules regrading downloading and uploading i.e seeding and leeching and usually one has to maintain a min of 1.00 or 1.1 ratio to avoid being warned and banned .. which I guess also results in better speeds ... maybe.

The private tracking community is running on some specific formulated rules like compulsory seeding, the more u seed the more u will get the bandwidth.
