| Slow Down? wtf I don't use Comcast and haven't been in a Comcast area in years. All I can say is torrents seeded by only Comcast users are hardly worth downloading, unless it's one of a kind. The first connection from a Comcast user(encryption forced) usually takes a few minutes to drop. Then it's actively terminated accross several reconnects of the torrent client. The it'll reconnect successfully several times, but boot you within a few seconds of transfer. You then have to repeat the cycle for hopefully a few more MB. if that. I am on Roadrunner and do not experience this even with users of Rogers or Shaw in Canada and certainly not with cleaner ISPs in the US. I don't even use them but can tell you that Comcast does all but block torrents. It doesn't often matter which city the Comcast users are in, either. So we know it's not a routing issue. |
