Downloads inexplicably slowing to 1 MB/s from 25 MB/s

I recently moved to a campus ethernet connection that I think tops out at about 200 Mbps. When I first installed SAB, I was getting 25MB/s for the duration of my downloads. Now, the downloads will begin at 25 and then taper down to 1 MB/s.

SAB version: 0.7.18
OS: Win 8 64 bit
Host: thecubenet (never had issues with them elsewhere)
SABnzbd Port: 8085
Listening Port: 443 (have tried several)

Anyone have any thoughts? It almost seems like the campus ISP is detecting the traffic type and throttling.....

Thanks guys.

Exactly.

Workaround: set up a VPN from your system, and use that.
