[SGVLUG] comcast hates U BitTorrent users

[matti]

Hi

well folks... comcast isn't playing very nicely...
 
Comcast blocks some Internet traffic
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071019/ap_on_hi_te/comcast_data_discrimination

"Comcast's technology kicks in, though not consistently, when one
BitTorrent user attempts to share a complete file with another user.

Each PC gets a message invisible to the user that looks like it comes
from the other computer, telling it to stop communicating. But neither
message originated from the other computer — it comes from Comcast. If
it were a telephone conversation, it would be like the operator
breaking into the conversation, telling each talker in the voice of the
other: "Sorry, I have to hang up. Good bye." "
