I’ll try to download a torrent with like 100 seeders and it will never start downloading, like it has no seeders. every once in awhile i will get something for a min then nothing again. keep getting a succesive failure message on the port im on, says check firewall. did a download test within the prog and it downloaded fine but got an error on uploads. I read that they are banning ports for p2p crap and the ports or ip addresses are getting black listed. they say to switch to a differnet port, but im still getting it after like 10 different port tries. just wondering if anyone else is having problems cause maybe they are finally cracking down on this crap. ---

Are you using Comcast internet? I read somewhere that they are actively blocking people from downloading torrents. ---

I have Comcast, and I “acquired” American Gangster last night in about 3 hours I think. 1.4Gb\* \*Note that my download was a legal trailer download. The trailer was just a massive file size because it was in HD. 😃
