Yeah, that's why they gave you an account meant for "DOWNLOADING".
You can download unlimted bandwidth for $50!!!! You can download a 10,000 giga byte file and they will not charge you one red cent for it.
They sell "client" accounts with no limit, not "server" accounts with no limit.

Oh, they did set a limit for upload, didn't you read the shit you just wrote above. "whopping 384kbs".
They now have another limit that goes like this:
"If you look like one of the users that use our network to facilitate your fucking thievery of copyrighted material then we cut your shit off".

Who's fucking problem is that? People writing open sorce code to run closed source companies out of business are bitching because they might have to pay some money to do it. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!

I've never had a single problem with a bittorrent upload on my comcast connection, and if I start having problems, I've already got a solution ready (ssh tunnel through my webhost for seeding. I've got 2.6TB of bandwidth/mo. Might as well use some of it).
