just noticed something interesting that is new. when I download torrents I can't connect to any tf2 servers :(
it just sits there and times out. just started within the past few days. stupid comcast. anyone know how they are doing this and/or a way around it? not that downloading torrents and playing tf2 at the same time are a huge deal, but it's the principle of the matter...

Weird I just had the same problem BUT I don't have commiecast. I have speakeasy and even after I kill uTorrent I still have to wait a while to connect.

i would try changing the port settings on whatever bitorrent client u are using; also if u use peerguardian, by default it blocks steam

Maybe you should stop eating up all of your nodes bandwidth you hog. 
Or get verizon FIOS.

it's comcast or dialup where I live. I would switch if I could, they have been a non-stop hassle and I've had on-going issues for about two years now that they are unable or unwilling to resolve. I do share my wifi with others, but whenever I've looked the only time I really suck bandwidth is when torrenting, and even then it's often not a huge amount. I experimented a little and even turning the torrents total used bandwidth down to something tiny like under 20/20 I still can't connect to tf2 servers. I have not changed anything, no peer guardian or anything like that, my router is configed the same and all that.

just make sure your torrent client is using any of these ports:

Steamclient1: 27000 - 27020
Steamclient2: 27020 - 27050
SteamServ: 27015
