In a somewhat over-dramatic story, The Edge of I-Hacked is reporting on the problems customers are facing regarding the torrent blocking action that is occurring on their Comcast telephone lines.

The site suggests what is occuring is that for all bittorrent connections, Comcast are effectively answering the "call" of the torrent client and telling them there is nothing to send, or even that nothing exists altogether.

Sure, this is bad, but the way in which groups against it make it out that the company is a big evil geniuslinks is just wrong, Comcast are more than likely trying to preserve quality of service for their other users, even if it is not in the best way.
