Re: when did AT&T start playing around with torrent transfers

I'm having the same problems as OP (att - los angeles)

I was happily using my Dsl for around 9 months and just started using torrents about 2 weeks ago when my IP started renewing randomly / frequently / constantly.

Requires me to power down and up about every hour....

Now I can't even play online games without the disconnects. I wish I would have never started using torrents cause I feel like I'm blacklisted or something.

Re: when did AT&T start playing around with torrent transfers

I have the SpeedStream 4100 modem. When I used a Netgear FVS114 router, torrents were troublesome. Since replacing the Netgear with a D-Link DIR-655 router, I've had no troubles with torrents.

If using BitTorrent causes problem such as you describe, you can try cutting back the number of peer connections allowed. If you cut back to only 15 connections, and the problems cease, you have a local hardware issue.
