Networking Issues with Torrent App

[Killface]

Everytime i download something using a bittorrent program.. such as BitComet or uTorrent, Windows tells me that my my router disconnects and reconnects every 2 minutes or so. (it says "you have no connectivity", then immediately it goes away... only to do it again 2 minutes later)

Its getting really annoying and i want it fixed, any ideas?

Linksys Befsr41

Yea I've updated, but it still does this stuff. I dunno what to do =/

It might be that the connections made by the torrent program (handshaking and exchanging information with peers, etc) might be too much for your router to handle.
It's not about the bandwidth, but about too many simultaneous connections.
Try lowering the number of simultaneous connections made by your program.
That might fix your prob.

looks like that did it... although uTorrent is still being homo. But whatever, that program sucks anywas. Thanks for the help.

uTorrent....sucks? hahaha. Anyway, glad that fixed it for you.

if utorrent gives you problems, try Azureus.

Na, not really.. my router is what really sucks. I'm just blaming uTorrent because it doesn't want to work for me =/
