I guess I spoke too soon it happened twice today......

just to clarify I am not having this issue currently..... and I am still regularly downloading and using my bandwidth as much if not more than before....

Well thanks for the advice, but Its not the router that is freezing just the modem that i have to power cycle i have never touched the router when I have this problem. As for the handy upgrade, I wish I could turn my router into the uber router firm ware update but from what I understand it won't wok for my Dlink.. but I do know that the model I have has a great QOS engine that has made great improvements in my network performace over that of my old dlink while I DL torrents and game...... Sorry that I could not be of any help then keep us posted on you find out....

I think was having the same problem ... If I was to start a torrent download after about 3 minutes my connection would stop, and to fix this I would have to power cycle my modem, and unless I throttled the download to almost nothing or i stopped it the connection would shut down again... I haven't had this problem in a week or two but a few changes that I made that might of helped are : I started using Azureus (and set up the encryption) was using utorrent and bittorrent before I started using peerguardian I ran the WinXP Patch (found here: http://lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads ) - Windows XP limits the number of connections. This patch will change the limit, so you can connect to more peers at a time. I sill have crappy speeds on my torrent but now atleast I can download them with out losing my connection to the www. not sure if this is the same exact problem as what you are having, but maybe it will help, or maybe some of the other great minds here can help us both to understand our issues best of luck...
