Answer 1

Comcast is the issue.  They use Sandvine to interfere with bittorrent and what you describe is the classic symptoms of Sandvine interference.

Comcast is supposedly stopping this, but who knows.

I have Comcast (and Vuze/uTorrent) and had this issue.  Using encryption and lazy bitfield worked for me.

However, for about 1/3rd of the people those do not help.

Answer 2

if you upload over night as you sleep that's a good way to seed but if its your modem then your screwed as a leecher
