A lot of the problems with BitTorrent on Comcast can be fixed by enabling protocol header encryption, a built-in feature of most modern BitTorrent clients.
One article I read said to enable encryption but to also allow unencrypted connections. When I did this, nothing changed. My uploads were still cut off after 30 seconds.
Later, I went back and disabled unencrypted connections. It seems like it's working now. I don't see any uploads being disconnected. (keeps fingers crossed)
Give it a try people, let us know if it works for you.
