 |
|
From what i have heard in the news... Comcast is being sued by the FCC and a couple normal people for doing things related to net neutrality...
They are cutting the speed of torrents to like 5kb/s...
Anyone know a way to stop this? I am going to complain to Comcast support now...

Lol.. complain to Comcast because you can't illegally download things? Yeah thats a smart way to get caught. Comcast will and has turned over costumer information before so I highly suggest you don't even bother calling them about it.
Get a new ISP or find a new way to download things.

Torrents are not illegal Wiccaan... Dont be ignorant. I tried to download a Linux distro ( Gentoo ) from a torrent and it took a VERY LONG TIME...

| Downloading pirated shit is illegal, not torrent itself. It say so clearly somewhere in the ToS. |

Well downloading torrents aren't illegal. But downloading torrents that have full software or music on them is.

if u enabled the packet encryption option on your torrent client u might have a chance to increase your speed, also try to forward your torrent client's port if u r using a router.
