It seems like getting a cheap seedbox is going to be the way to go. If you just download straight from the seedbox with ftp to your computer and do everything from your seedbox you'll be covered. If you have to pay out money for it then might as well shell out a few more dollars for the extra speed.

Been looking around at seedboxes and I think I came up with a way to do it for $20 a month. If you just get a cheap VPS from http://www.fdcservers.net/Services/V...SVDSPlans#s101 and limit your download speed to something around normal speeds for a good internet connection you get rid of the problem. Now the theory on this is NOT to be using this as a normal seedbox to seed a tb a month. Rather use the 600gb they give you by throttling your bandwidth throughout the month. Then you just ftp the files to your computer and avoid comcast BS. I don't know much about this stuff so I'm looking for some feedback. What's everyones opinion?

1Mbit Connection = 300Gb/Month=125Kb MAX(ie xfer 500mb per hr)

i have the 8/768 package from comcast and i have never been able to sustain speed on uploads or downloads with the unlimited bw setting. If you set up utorrent like they tell you to you should be capping your upload @ 72 kB/s. If I have that enabled I get a continuous stream on both UL/DL. Im located in GA so this is east coast that we are talking about. uTorrent says that limiting your connection is very very important. So to all that run unlimited with a home connection, cap it, that should help more than anything. Let us know what happens.

I got a new modem and now i leave mine on unlimited and while it goes to 250kb(5mb) then down to 30kb then up to 250kb again i still average at about 60-70 vs 40(384) i pay for

Well I haven't tried it, but this might be a solution to it:

"Don't do this. When you DROP RST packets, that means that EVERY TCP connection hangs open until a very very long timeout, turning BitTorrent into a user-initiated DoS attack on your machine. Yeah, this _will_ stop Comcast's behavior, but you're screwed." -thecubic

Can somene explain this a little bit more to me? How does this cause an attack on yourself?

By the way, I've just placed my FIOS order!!!
