Comcast blocks my bit torrent.....my share ratio is suffering
Hello Forum,
Any advice on what I can to to prevent Comcast from preventing me from maintaining my share ratio? Often, once a download is complete, I am unable to continuing uploading (& thus improve & maintain my share ratio). Recent articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer discuss this and many believe Comcast does this knowing & deliberately. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Besides dumping Comcast? Maybe make a financial contribution? Offer b&Ps? I guess what bugs me the most is that my ratio suffers and some folks may judge me for it but not understand why.... No members have liked this post.

Re: Comcast blocks my bit torrent.....my share ratio is suffering
There are a few threads in this forum about this issue - search "Comcast" or "Sandvine". Encryption was suggested. There was a post about how to get around sandvining - it worked for some, not for others. You could cap your download rate to the same as your upload rate and therefore end up seeding a lot while downloading so when you are done, you are at a 1:1 ratio (or around there).
Also, don't forget that you may share by doing B&Ps or Vines.

Re: Comcast blocks my bit torrent.....my share ratio is suffering
Dear U2 Lynne,
Could you elobrate about caping my download rate? Are you refering to the "sliding scale" at which I download/upload? I usually keep it open to the max. Are you saying if I decrease this, I can increase my uploading while I download? No members have liked this post.

Re: Comcast blocks my bit torrent.....my share ratio is suffering
That's right. I have Comcast also, I had the same problem. I use Azureus and when I turned the encryption on I could connect to people. Also, try limiting your upload (when downloading) to about 10 kb/s less than your max. I'm capped at 45, and I usually set it for 35 when downloading, then I open it up when done. Good Luck.
