There could be various reasons for that: Seeders join the swarm and leave the swarm all the time, peers may not have the parts you require, and for all I know your Streamyx account had been identified as a very heavy user and the powers that be had subjected your torrents to be throttled after a certain amount of data, in accordance with their fair-use regulations.
I'm not a networking expert; was merely sharing what I know/able to deduce. In your case as well as pakji's, both of you leave the computer on overnight to download. Both of you SEEM to be throttled to varying degrees. So...cause and probable effect are there. I've never left a computer on overnight to download stuff nor do I torrent a lot, I don't do online gaming...and on torrents with enough seeders, I get the max speed till all of the file is on my hdd.
i dunno how torrent work. i mean, how seeder join/leave the swarm as u mention. as i said, there's seeder, usually more than 5, depending the popularity of the torrent. but most of the time, only 1-2 will send their data to me, which one at high speed and the other one at 1-2 kbps.I'm not a networking expert; was merely sharing what I know/able to deduce.

i torrent when the thing that i want is only available on torrent, which is IIRC about 5 times from the date i start use streamyx (dec 2014). i leave it overnight because there's no one using the net at that time. u know torrent at daytime can cause other user go crazy at the net speed.. even though i am the only user on this line most of the time..
well.. i think as u said, maybe my acc had been identified and flagged as very heavy user, thus make me suffer from slow torrent speed.
