Torrent Program Causing Connection To Drop At Times!

I use a torrent program called Azureus to download things every so often and whenever I do I get the following problem:

It downloads things fine for about the first hour or so but after that I get a message saying something like "make sure port ____ is open" and my downloads stop running.

I use Incoming TCP Listen Port 49152 for Azureus downloads. Azureus has an inbuilt "NAT/Firewall Test" and normally when I type in 49152 and click test it comes back as 'OK'. If I test it again after my downloads have stopped running I get the message 'NAT Error'.

This Azureus problem also causes the rest of my Internet to stop working for some reason and in order to get everything back to normal I have to turn my router off & back on again.

This is pretty frustrating because if I want to leave a download running over night I almost always wake up to find that it stopped downloading about an hour after I went to bed.

first suggestion I have to try a different bittorrent program, i myself prefer utorrent but just to make sure thats not the problem.

 

Sounds like ye are allowing your torrent client to "soak" up all your bandwidth.

Torrents love bandwidth. You may want to throttle down the amount it takes up.
