  I dont trust it still, but..if it's legit, awesome. Bittorrent is legal now anyway.

    BitTorrent technology has always been legal. It's how people choose to use the technology that lands them in trouble. If someone downloads a copyrighted work, that's their legal issue, not BitTorrent's or the tracker's.

  Agreed, Akira_EX. To celebrate, I'm going to be doing some heavy torrenting when I'm back home for summer vacation on my parents' Comcast connection if they've undone their filters by then.
  
  They're all going to be legal, of course...

  of course, I send you a link to something interesting, then 2 minutes later you post it up on GameGrep getting full credit to your self
  
  But yes, this cool. When I move over the summer, I'll finally get a decent internet connection through comcast, so hopefully I can take full advantage of it!

    Prioritizing and filtering Internet packets based on various protocols for transferring data, which Comcast has been guilty of for months.

      Thanks...
      
      So how does this affect a Comcast customer (me)?

        It means that certain files will transfer faster then others. Like if you were downloading something that comcast supported, it would go at your normal download speed, but if you tried downloading something comcast was against (like file sharing), it would go at a slower rate.

        Or in some cases, The Slayer, the transfer would be blocked entirely like many people have found out when trying to torrent files on a Comcast connection.

        So now they are allowing everything and treating it equally?

        To put it simply, yes. People have been complaining for quite a while and Comcast is eager to get the Associated Press off its back by admitting they're wrong. Of course, it's probably because of other things like them compressing existing HD channels to add more HD channels on the same bandwidth rather than increasing their bandwidth that they don't want an investigation to uncover that they decided to admit this, though
