Torrents and Comcast?

[Gothjod]

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?

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

 

[Top Geek]

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-encrypt-bittorrent-traffic/ And try downloading overnight during non-peak time.
