Weirdness.

I've stayed away from torrents for years because of the legality and general dodginess aspect. But recently I've reason to get some (legit) files and am noticing a strange problem. I start a download and after a few minutes my broadband router will disconnect and drop the DSL connection.

I can restart and restart the router without success until I stop the torrent from the client (Tixati) and then another restart will bring the connection up again. I restart the torrent and it will run again for a while before falling off.

This has happened since I started. I've tried throttling the connection in both directions with no luck. I'm running Windows 7 and have a Vodafone DSL2 connection, usually around 12 Mbps.

Anyone with any ideas?

Cheers
Jon
