(can you check via traceroute?) If so, it is very, very important that you report this to Comcast tech support and let them know that you are in their Network Management test market. Please let me know. See »www.comcast.net/terms/network/ for (sketchy) details. Test market or no, your results are pretty surprising. So is it any amount of seeding that kills everything? Can you turn it down to 5 KB/s (40 kbps) or 1 KB/s (8 kbps) and still be prevented? 3 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms ge-3-1-ur01.chesterfield.va.richmond.comcast.net [68.86.17 4.185] 4 4 ms 6 ms 6 ms te-1-2-ar01.chesterfield.va.richmond.comcast.net [68.86.17 2.70] 5 13 ms 12 ms 13 ms te-4-3-cr01.charlotte.nc.cbone.comcast.net [68.86.72.133] 6 19 ms 15 ms 17 ms te-1-1-cr01.richmond.va.cbone.comcast.net [68.86.68.110] 7 15 ms 17 ms 16 ms te-1-1-cr01.mclean.va.cbone.comcast.net [68.86.68.114] 8 18 ms 20 ms 20 ms te-4-2-ar01.newcastle.de.bo.comcast.net [68.86.72.162] 9 21 ms 23 ms 21 ms te-1-1-ar02.ndceast.pa.bo.comcast.net [68.86.228.102] 10 22 ms 21 ms 20 ms te-4-1-ur02.ndceast.pa.bo.comcast.net [68.86.134.49] 11 21 ms 21 ms 21 ms 68.87.98.12 12 20 ms 21 ms 19 ms 68.87.60.144 Seeding at 5Kb/s I can't even reply to this thread...

funchords Hello Premium,MVM join:2001-03-11 Yarmouth Port, MA kudos:6 1 edit	You are about 100 miles from Warrenton ... hmmm, no explanation. I'm wondering if something in the FreeBSD setup might be squelching you -- maybe a MPLS rule or a NAT table limitation working against you? Can you plug directly into the cable modem and test? What Comcast is doing in most areas (the non-trial areas) should have no effect on DNS or web surfing. It would kill seeding, however, by throwing TCP RST packets at your connections.
