This is usually caused by the asymettry of ADSL. The upload bandwidth is much less than the download bandwidth so you need very aggressive upload throttling or a huge outgoing queue builds. Also you will find that some torrent clients don't implement upload throttling properly and you will also find that some autospeed algorithms fuck things up in exactly the way you describe.
My suggestion is to try P2P with real heavy upload throttling on -- like measure your upload bandwidth using a speed test site and then throttle to 20% of that or less. Don't use P2P autospeed algorithms as most work by saturating the upload link.
