BitTorrent and Comcast?

	Does anyone know whether Comcast considers using BitTorrent as
a client to be a terms of service violation (because each client also
serves)?  I can't get a straight answer out of Comcast customer
support.  They just quote the sections of the terms of service that
caused me to ask in the first place.  But it's not clear to me whether
a BitTorrent client is what they consider to be, legally, a "server".
What probably matters is whether their network monitoring people watch
for, notice, and object to, the kind of activity that BitTorrent
generates.

	Any experiences, positive, negative, or otherwise?
