It looks like something is preventing you from receiving blocks. I don't think this is related to the software but rather something on your network. I am not quite sure. Perhaps your ISP is rate limiting you? What I am seeing is that the connections between you and the peers are being broken causing the problems here.
As far as I understand, with rate limiting, downloading 1 GB of data:
Code:
$ time wget -O /dev/null http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/speedtest/1000mb.bin

real 8m17.184s
user 0m2.172s
sys 0m6.616s
which I tested yesterday, when sync was stalled completely, should have taken much more time.

I did what you suggested. Now synchronization is slowly advancing. Here you can see new debug.log. It seems to me though, that blocks downloading resumed not due to measures you suggested, but thanks to some other reason. Because in the beginning of debug.log you can see familiar 'stalling block download' messages. That corresponds to my observation: downloading resumed not right after changing settings and restarting bitcoind.
Is it OK that my node states stalled block downloading just several seconds after connecting to a peer:
Code:
2016-10-31 21:46:02 receive version message: /Satoshi:0.13.1/: version 70014, blocks=436814, us=ip_of_the_vps:52858, peer=4
2016-10-31 21:46:11 Peer=4 is stalling block download, disconnecting
?

From what I can tell, your node just seems to be having a really hard time connecting to a proper node to give it blocks. It looks like your node is being spammed connections, probably the same ones that are using AWS.

Try going into the Bitcoin Core Data Directory and deleting the peers.dat file. Then start Bitcoin Core with the -listen=0 option set so that you don't receive any incoming connections. See if you sync then. Once you are fully synced, try again without that option. You should probably also en masse ban connections from AWS nodes.

Do you happen to be using Amazon Web Services for your VPS?
No, my VPS isn't from Amazon, it's from guys whom I know in person.
Ok. The concern there was that if you used AWS you could have been blocked by a ton of nodes due to node spammers using AWS. But that is not a concern.

Can you please provide ALL of your debug.log? What you have given provides almost 0 useful information.
I hope first and last 1000 lines of debug.log are enough? You can see them here.
Looking at this I see that something changed when I manually stopped bitcoind (using 'bitcoin-cli stop' of course) probably to change some settings, maybe to manually add some nodes. Before the stop it was updating the tip and preallocating something, after the stop the log consists mostly of 'receive version' and 'stalling block download' messages.

... I use a VPS with Ubuntu 16.04, 8 GB RAM ....

What are the other stats on the VPS?  Number of cores? Load average?  Is the host throttling it?  (Perhaps it is none of those things, but best to be thorough).
There's just one core, but current load average is: 0,07, 0,02, 0,00. I don't think it's throttling because I install and update packages without any problems.
About memory usage, that's what top says:
Code:
KiB Mem :  8175544 total,   131828 free,  1280856 used,  6762860 buff/cache
KiB Swap:  8385532 total,  8361176 free,    24356 used.  6558060 avail Mem
As far as I understand this, almost all memory is in use. That's because I also use this VPS for NXT full node, it's written in Java, therefore high memory usage. But swap is barely used, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem. NXT node works without apparent issues btw, but their blockchain size and tps aren't comparable to Bitcoin of course.
To be more sure that the problem isn't traffic throttling, I just did this test (downloaded 1000Mb):
Code:
$ time wget -O /dev/null http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/speedtest/1000mb.bin

real 8m17.184s
user 0m2.172s
sys 0m6.616s

Meanwhile, current blocks count is still 422530.

What are the specs of your vps? Do you happen to be using Amazon Web Services for your VPS?

Part of the issue is probably that you have a ton of connections from spam nodes. You may be under a DoS attack.

Can you please provide ALL of your debug.log? What you have given provides almost 0 useful information.

I am trying to setup a full node. I use a VPS with Ubuntu 16.04, 8 GB RAM. It's already more than 2 months since I installed bitcoind from ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin. Since then I upgraded it 2 times to 0.13.0 and to 0.13.1. The problem is: blocks downloading stalls from time to time. In this condition (without downloading a single block) bitcoind stays for days. When I first noticed a stall somewhere around block 300000, I thought that maybe some downloaded data was damaged, removed downloaded blockchain completely and started synchronization again, but the problem occured again. Then I tryed restarting bitcoind with -reindex option. Reindexing takes significant time, but when it finishes downloading resumes at normal speed (tens, even hundreds of blocks per hour), but soon stalls again. Stalls don't last forever though, from time to time downloading resumes, but not for long. I configured the node to accept incoming connections and it does accepts them. I increased max number of open connections to 32, usually it shows 31 active connections. But it doesn't help.
Currently my node is in stalled mode, for more than a day, at block 422530, hash of the block:
Code:
000000000000000001fb4b21fce4d41ea07adff678ac1080fd2d5d3d5f9b08de
matches what block explorers show for that block.
Here are some 100 lines of debug.log:
