I tried that, didn't work. I've resorted to forced encryption and changing my port for each download. Not great, but at least the downloads are not stalling.
Comcast Torrent Throttling

too bad that did not work, it sounded so good. It won't be long until there are more tools to bypass the filters. Another option is the TOR network

what do you me by encrypted? if you are downloading from opensuse.org, you can't encrypt it without the other side cooperating, and that ain't gonna happen. If it's truly encrypted they won't be able throttle but the key is encryption end to end and using other network ports, like tcp port 80 (http).
Simple solution for this though, select standard download method ftp/http from opensuse.org!
I heard comcast rule now is they will let you d/l as much as your pipe can handle but uploads they will still limit/throttle. Meaning your machine sharing stuff to other people should be slow.

I've already gotten SUSE, I'm now talking about 'other' downloads.
UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
Ok, here's the things I learned when I was on Comcast
1) Use Azureus (already knew that)
2) Change your port to 10001 (or some other random number)
3) Limit you max connections per torrent to 30
4) Limit your max global connections to 300
5) Limit your ul to 30KBs
6) And this is an important one, Comcast sucks and will ban you for using too much of your unlimited internet (although they no longer advertise it as unlimited)
But you probably shouldn't listen to me as I obviously don't know what I'm talking about
Yes, I dl a lot of Linux ISOs

"The FCC has announced that it will take appropriate action against Comcast, and the ISP will be ordered to stop interfering with BitTorrent traffic. Comcast has said before that it will invest in its network capacity and stop slowing down the traffic of their users, but these were all false promises."
