3 edits | Bittorrent activity causes disconnects Question -
The last few days I have seen a troubling occurrence so I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this or if it was possibly just my hardware.
My connection will maintain fine under normal web-surfing, but as of last week, any bittorrent activity generates an immediate, temporary disconnect of the internet.
What I'm actually seeing is a cable modem hooked up to an apple extreme wireless router, and the wifi drops within 2 mins of initiating a bittorrent client.
I can go up and reboot everything and it will work until I start up bittorent again - like clockwork, the wifi will drop out - almost as though my modem is getting some refresh or reboot signal specifically designed to knock off transfers. I have done this probably 8 or 9 times with the same exact result.
Obviously with a wireless router this means a reboot every time, possible that if I was hardwired in, it would just pick up again.
Thoughts?

At base, this is your hardware. Nothing Comcast or its equipment can do should cause you to lose wireless connectivity.
Most likely, when you fire up your BitTorrent client, it sets up the DHT network and opens a bunch of connections which runs your router out of memory. As a test, turn off your DHT network and limit the maximum number of connections to 50.
