Instead of blocking, they just disconnect now

It would appear to me that Comcast is taking a new tactic. I am a game mod developer and one of the ways I release updates to my games is through bittorrent since the files are usually small and are not illegal for someone to download.

Lately I have noticed when I turn on my bittorrent software within minutes I lose my internet connection through Comcast. I turn off the software, reset my router and everything works fine. I then turn the software back on and once again I lose the connection.

I can go hours with no problems, but the second I try to release the torrent I am booted. I find it difficult to believe this is coincidence.
