»[Connectivity] Adephia Blocking P2P Packets

Adelphia seems to be blocking bittorrent seeding. Regular bittorrent is fine, but when you complete/switch to seeding, the new incoming connections are forced close. Guess they're sniffing packets and seeing the file is completed header and then dropping.
...
Regular BT works fine, but they are blocking seeding. Most people wouldn't notice it in big torrent of like 100+ people, but on small 20 peer torrents, you notice peers drop out and not coming back. That's why your upload suffers because you have no one to connect to.
...
Jig try to seed a torrent from cold. By that I mean close your client, wait a couple of seconds, start it back up again to seed one torrent. You'll see that new peers will connect to you for a second and then get dropped.
Here's a quote from another user:

I have the same problem, uploads only, started about a week ago, and I'm in Southern California too. I seed Limewire all day and I hardly get any uploads any more. Yesterday in three hours I had 3 uploads. It should be more like 3 per minute based on previous results (these are small files, less than 200kb each). I get many connects, but most get dropped. I changed nothing on my system either, it just suddenly slowed drastically.
In uTorrent, I just tried seeding a poplular file from a cold start and that seems to be a problem too. On my system I've confirmed this problem with Limewire, uTorrent, BDCC, and Kazaa Lite Resurrection.
Sounds rather familiar!
