Re: Tell the TRUTH
said by RARPSL  :said by fiberguy :So far, Comcast has only blocked UPLOADS on torrents, not downloads. If downloads are bing impaired, it's because another user's upload is being shaped. I think you should look again at how BT works. Failure to upload (when you have needed pieces) or dropping uploading sessions will cause the peers at the other end to disconnect you or at least stop talking to you. Once a peer requests a piece from you, failure to supply it will cause the requesting peer to stop sending you pieces (ie: Choke you). This means that what Comcast is doing by blocking Uploads is ALSO blocking downloads since there will be no data to be downloaded (due to you being choked by the other peers). Then let those pushing out versions of bittorrent change that, so slow uploading peers aren't choked.
