This is a typical Star Man attack on Comcast because you are mis representing or redefining the trem unlimited. It is clear unlimited means unlimited access but not unlimited bandwidth. You are not to use you computer as a server period! |

Note that the Comcast insert at the top of this thread clearly says "Unlimited Use" not unlimited access. The only person trying to redefine here seems to be you. |

I think he means you can use it 24 hours a day. You aren't being charged a per minute rate like in the old days.
I think most people would be fine with download caps if Comcast would just define those caps and put in their user agreement. It's the secret caps that are bothersome. |

Don't you have to "access" it first before you can "use" it? |

Er...I could easily bypass 300 GB per month if I really wanted to...even without running a server on my end. |

You do not need torrents to download Linux distributions. How in god's name I download Ubuntu ISO for Ubuntu KDE and LAMP without problem, The caps are at 300GB or so How in hell one exceed that if the person is a compulsive downloader. |
