[SGVLUG] comcast hates U BitTorrent users

[Emerson, Tom (*IC)]

So?  Throw an SSL wrapper around the connections...

Not only will that prevent comcast from "falsifying traffic", but it
INCREASES the bandwidth consumed ;)

"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." "
