The company we have in my part of Georgia sucks bad. I'd love Comcast, or att, anything else.

Got a new comcast plan and the other day the guy came to replace my modem and router with their comcast combo unit. Either my internet is being throttled or their modem is absolute dog****, but something isn't right. My download speeds are 0~20kbs. I have a feeling I'm being throttled because I torrent, but I'm open to the possibility that this new comcast modem is garbage. I hate comcast so much.

You're being throttled.

I've been hunting many times, and though it's not really my thing, I don't have a problem with it as long as you're eating the meat and not hunting some endangered species.

However, some forms of "hunting" are just pathetic, and no one should ever be proud of doing it. This story is an example of that. There's nothing to be proud of in baiting an animal that has little fear of humans, you're simply leading it to the slaughter. All these excursions, where the guides lead you straight to the baited animal, they're all so fake. I can't understand how someone would get any fulfillment from doing that, other than being able to tell their buddy "I shot a lion!", as if you stalked it through the jungle for a few days, came within an inch of your life, and managed to barely survive by the skin of your teeth. But you did it, you defeated the beast! No, you did nothing that anyone couldn't do with a rifle in their hand, a guide to lead you right to the animal, and a park to profit off your weird desires. You just paid for an animal carcass. You didn't do anything to earn that kill. It's just pitiful.

Been throttled before by Comcast for torrenting like a boss. I actually got a letter later in the mail. There are ways to hide your torrenting and not sure what site you are using but I would recommend a private invite site such as iptorrents

How would they know you're torrenting? Just from the sheer volume of bandwidth you're using?

Bandwidth is an indicator, but that alone won't get you busted. If you are seeding from these sites and sources that are public ally out there without any masking, it's pretty easy for them to determine that you are using torrents. Most of the time it isn't the ISP that catches you, it's the owner of the original material (Sony, universal, whoever) that sends a letter to you or your ISP to serve as a cease letter.

This.

It's the seeding that gets people busted.

You have a choice to work or eat at these establishments. No one is putting a gun to your head.

It amazes me that people willingly walk in to bars and are offended that smoking is going on. It is called a bar. What next... will we no be able to drink in a bar next?

Doesn't bother me, I hate alcohol.
