boring internet journal

this is my problem
1. whenever i have a torrent program running, my internet connection will be fine, then after a random period of time it will just drop. i then have to manaully reboot the modem/router as disable/enable/repair connection have no effect and i cannot access the router's page.
it is not the individual router in question as it has done this on previous modem/router combinations.
it happens when im seeding both a large or small amount of torrents.

2. also it is an ethernet dsl connection, when i reboot it the speed will fall to a fraction of the 8meg i am supposed to receive. the actual line speed is 8meg but due to telephone exchange distances, the max is just over 6meg. sometimes the speed will drop randomly to ridiculous download speeds like 10kb/s max.

anyone have any possible ideas what could be causing these two problems?

currently using a bthomehub, previously it was a dlink adsl+ modem and belkin 802.11g router

just give me ur router username and pw and ill fix it.

haha nah i have no fckin clue i've been seeding for more then a week now and didnt run in any problems yet.
what happens if u do a speedtest before and after/?
how do you mean? before and after the reboot?

like i said, the actual speed i get is random - right now for example it could give me 100kb/s, in 10 minutes this could be down at 20kb/s, or it could stay at 600kb/s for 2 days then suddenly fall again.

if i reboot it, the speed i get immediately after is also random

i mean before and after u start that torrent program
hmm tbh i dont have a clue i guess :<
but if i see what u were writing like :

its from the usual suspects

are you using an onboard lan card?
turn it off and get a proper network card, it fixed my probs

Try lowering the number of slots. Some routers can't handle too many slots at the same time, and it makes them kneel with the only option of rebooting it to make it work again.
You would need to buy high end home router if you wanted stable connection all the time imho. Many of routers can't handle that kind of WAN speed especially with WEP and firewal turned on.
Beside that, P2P opens lots of connections which can crash router (i have the same problem here). If i allow some P2P programs to use above 100 connection i almost disable internet for every other user on network, allowing me only to browse - and i use limited speed so there is still some bandwidth left -.-

Here you go http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_chart/Itemid,189/chart,119/ some charts for you. And the turn every function, that might use router hardware resources, off.
do not down with torrent
down from newsgroups
i do have a stable 10mb

this link will tell you how to
http://www.binaries4all.com/
had the same prob under WIN XP (if i understood right: it starts downloading and suddenly speed goes down and down till a minimum)
solution:
download XPAntispy and there u can fix the "maximum connections" of XP to unlimited (standard XP: 50 i think).
after that utorrent worked fine for me
you bore mee, next!
perhaps your ISP is throttling your torrent data, try changing port and turning on encryption (use utorrent)
thats standard, i did that ages ago

format!

Your connection is being throttled due to the vast amount of your connection a torrent program may use. It's basically your ISP although if you complain, they will probaly deny doing any maintanence.
