losing net connection

[throbinson]

I'm using a d-link DSL-G624T router to connect to the net with tiscali, I've set up utorrent and forwarded a port to the router and everythink works ok (sometimes) the main problem i have is that after i've been downloading for about 15-30mins me router crashes and i lose my net connection.

Just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas why this could be happening.

You help would be very gratefull

I think i've cured the net problem put suffering from slow speeds upto 20kbps only this is what ive tried

ive enabled Protocol Encryption,

unchecked upnp & dht,

lowerded my maximum global number of connections to 100,

Lowered net.max_halfopen to 4,

tried connecting using a usb modem still got slow speeds (had a green light with this),

the colour of the network status light starts of orange then changes to red (only had green twice),

the port checker writes "checking port 61175 on 88.104.203.82 error port 61175 does not appear to be working",

ive followed the instructions on portforward.com and belive i did that correctly,

the speed test shows my download to be608kbps & upload 158kbps,

current settings are upload 10kbps, upload slots 5, connection per torrent 100, connection global 100, max active torrents 5, max active downloads 4,

im using win xp media centre,

i have panda antivirus & firewall 2007 & spyware doctor running, windows firewall is turned off,

im using a d-link DSL-G624T router not using a modem connection made through the router,

my isp is through tiscali im on a 1mb package the router settings were sent to me by tiscali im on a adsl line,

If this helps anyone who can help me speed up my download ill be very gratefull

now, if you have 158 kilobitspersecond uploadline why do you run 5 active torrents at once?!
