Default Torrents and Comcast?

The last couple of episodes I start to download Top gear (which is why I even have Utorrent/Bitcomet) my Modem will just freeze up and play dead until I close the downloader. It would do it with Anything else... Internet/games/radios... it all works fine. Any ideas? I've read that Comcast is stopping/disrupting connections from torrents. Possible?

Matt

Yes. Is there any other broadband provider in your area besides Comcrap?

Yes, Comcast is corporate scum. See if there are any other providers in your area.

Use Azureus with Protocol Encryption. http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-encry...rrent-traffic/ And try downloading overnight during non-peak time.
