For those savvy enough to have switched over to Linux, this step-by-step guide will prove once again that Linux really does offer users almost complete control over their OS.
It's no secret that Comcast and other ISPs are actively throttling BitTorrent, but how to circumvent the practice is always subject to debate.

Some find protocol header encryption fairly successful, others use TOR or an SSH or a VPN Tunnel to disguise their traffic, but, as is usual, Linux users have OS control options that just aren't available to Windows and MAC users.
For Linux users can apparently block the fake reset packets most commonly employed to throttle BitTorrent by employing a simple rule found in the Linux iptables.


The article shows the exact method to do this wonderful trick ( bypassing the fake RST packets ).
