Why oh why have my download speeds gone to 21 kb/sec? Via Digg, I've found this term coined to be "throttling" and it's pretty irritating once you've become a victim of Comcast sneaky violations of net neutrality. Basically, Comcast turns on and off your router using their modem you rent from them, then tests to see how the bandwidth meter on their side fluxuates. If their bandwidth skyrockets, then you're downloading too much and they will cap your download and upload speeds. This is usually done via port tracking and they will cycle your internet once that port gets used again. Think of it sort of like corporate Big Brother for your internet.
Good news: There's always ways around things. Here's some instructions on how to un-throttle your BitTorrent.
