Damn, I just got a warning from comcast

[Roon]

about using bit torrent. If I get caught using bit torrent one more time, they will suspend my service. This really bites.

1. What is bit torrent?

[Roon]

3. It's a peer to peer

file sharing network. They used to be pretty obscure, but now the ISPs are cracking down.

8. P2P File Sharing.....

2. crap

!

4. if you go out of town and use no bandwidth for a month, do you get a refund?

I really hate them too. As soon as a good alternative comes along for highspeed internet, my happy ass gives comcast the 'one finger' salute.

5. Tell them to stick it up their ass

Seriously.

There are 100% legal things to do with Bittorrent.

[Cannikin]

6. Did they give a more specific reason other than using a program?

[Roon]

9. just that there was a copy right infringement

[Madrone]

7. A way around that.....

Usenet. May cost a small fee (I pay $10/month for the service I use) - but all of your traffic shows as HTTP and it's more reliable and faster than BT.

10. I'm getting nailed by them too..

They have basically killed my bittorrent traffic. Why do I pay them 60$ a month? Assholes have killed my upload. I wish I had a choice.
