If it were I, I'd start by looking at a packet trace of the FTP data
connection.  If that's too technical for you, try connecting to the
server through a different network path, if possible, and compare the
behaviour.  Also make sure you watch the system logs carefully while
the connection is in the process of slowing down, and see if anything
that might be relevant is written to a log file.

Good luck.
