1. The shutoff seems to be triggered by too many connections, not by too many bits per second. Sending, say, 5 requests per second and receiving, say, one 1500-byte packet with each one, is a rather modest 60 Kb/sec.
That sounds exactly like the sort of naive heuristic a sniffer might have for detecting P2P traffic.
2. The shutoff is not just limiting my bit rate, it's a complete shutdown for a minute or so. Like "You were bad so we're going to drop all of your packets for a minute or so."
And that sound like exactly the sort of response ISPs are starting to make. "Ah, well, if you were running BitTorrent, no wonder your internet is broken!"
