Modem connection stops when using bittorent

[vis0nz]

Any one have any suggestions as to why anytime I download with a bittorent client my internet / network connection dies. The only way to fix this is to unplug the power to the cable modem & allow it to reset. I've had this issue for a long while, and have no knowledge of networking or p2p? sharing. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

There being no obvious explanation for this would suggest to me that you have rubbish bit torrent client software (or your computer has a moral objection to file sharing!) Try a different one!

you could have your download/upload limit set too high for your connection

naa, i had teh same problem..hehe
use u torrent 1.8.4 or lower
and search for an firmware update for the router. my problem was that when i had tooo much connections the router just gave up and freezed or something..
after the update the router worked fine..

let me guess...u have a Netgear router?

i would help u more and give u tips but i need to know what OS u are using..so i can write down whats best..

Nah, no firmware update. Take your time on the tut, I've been dealing with this for a while, so nothings new. Thanks though.

In that case I apologise to your torrent software! What I should have said ... (I'm sure you can fill in the rest of this sentence)!
