I had the same problem last week with my ISP. Also, botnet issues. I am
blocking IRC for now in my exitpolicy, to see if this solves the problem

I changed my exit nodes policy, now I only allow traffic to http(s),

If blocking IRC using Bill's example doesnt solve the issue, I'm tempted to
go that way as well. Offcourse, I would rather have an exit policy that is
as wide as possible, but I would also prefer not to be kicked off the
internet by my ISP :)

Greets,

Nils
