It appears that Comcast has stepped up their fight against BitTorrent by outright cutting off users’ transfers and blocking their ability to seed downloads.

ISPs have been limiting the available bandwidth for BitTorrent traffic for almost two years now, according to TorrentFreak, and though BitTorrent protocol encryption seems to work against most forms of traffic shaping, Comcast’s more aggressive throttling methods can’t be circumvented just as easy.
