Anyone having trouble with bittorrent through TimeWarner?

I just tried several different torrents, all legal files, all well seeded, and nothing works. Where as I had grabbed files as of Friday with no trouble. Is this just my own isolated incident, or has Time Warner finally turned that big port switch off?
 
Just tried a torrent and am getting 580kB/sec+ and all my others are fine too. So uh yeah same as usual for me
 
How weird.

I left a torrent open for This Week in Tech and after 45 min it found 1 seed. So very strange.. I've tried rebooting my modem and of course the system itself.

The feds are on to me! :D
 
Well, I jumped over ot Azureus, (I had been using BitTornado and had been meaning to switch over, now seemed like a good time), and I can't connect to any trackers, but i can join up with the swarm and still get the files.

I did some browsing and the best advice I could find was to change my ports and hope that if the ISP is blocking things they are just doing it by port.

We shall see if this clears up. If anyone has any other pointers I am all ears since I am still miffed about not connecting to the tracker.

580kb/sec?? What were you downloading?
Most I ever get is like 250-300k/sec and that is very rare.
