It's probably your router dying due to too many open connections. I had this problem when I had a crappy router. Try lowering the # of global max connections (in utorrent it's under under preferences - bandwidth).

Are you using ESET smart security by any chance? I was using ESET and utorrent and the internet would not work at all when utorrent was running because of ESET, but it was a relatively easy thing to fix.

I have no idea what that is, so probably not.

I used to have this problem on an old connection some years ago where if I ran more than 3-4 torrents at the same time the entire net just shut down. A friend of mine said it was a common problem on some routers or something. I am noob with computers but maybe you have the same kind of problem and just need to limit the amount of torrents your downloading at the same time.

I sometimes get this when I use bittorrent, but once I've restarted my router and gotten a new IP everything works again. Probably has something to do with your ISP or router, but don't take my word on it.

Your just opening up too many connections probably flooding your router causing it to reset

I have had this problem (still have it actually). When I got broadband here years ago, they installed this shitty modem box and its the problem, it just can't seem to handle enough data. So i'd have to unplug-replug it in everytime it d/c.

So now I only use uTorrent and only use it in the evenings when I go to bed and it seems to work.. and I have to limit dl at 360kbs as anything over/unlimited goes too fast for my shitty modem to handle. I've heard replacing it fixes this problem, but I have a shitty computer anyway so i might as well wait and buy everything new.

don't know if its been solved yet but what the problem is is this, either your windows is corrupt and a fucking dumb piece of shit (i don't know the exact cause in windows, just reformat) or you're using all your sessions on your modem. EVERY ISP comes with a given amount of sessions, everything you do online uses a session. And a power cycle on your modem would fix this... you can test this theory by connecting another PC during ur primary PC's loss of internet; if it surfs and isnt slow as shit then you aren't out of sessions.

also: restart your computer next time instead of your modem, could just be ur computer.

Any suggestions?

WTF you came back?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

Limit bandwidth, right click on the torrents and set bandwidth allocation. Also set priority to low.

So is utorrent good?
Because I am using Vuze and I have the exact same problem.
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.
