Hey guys,
Whenever I torrent for more than 30 minutes, my wireless connection dies, and when I try to reconnect it, it says that "no wireless networks found" I either have to reboot my system or disable and then enable my wireless card again to get it to work, and then it lasts for about 3 hours. I usually use a cable to torrent things now. I was wondering why that was happening.
Thanks in advance

Try lowering Global connections in your client.

I had a similar problem, pretty sure it was because the download rate was quicker than the transfer rate on my Wifi (despite the box saying 54Mb/s). I assume the transfer rate was considerably less based on the distance from the AP. I got it constantly when i switched to a 20mb connection, yet connecting through ethernet was always fine.

Also, for me this wasn't just using bittorrent. At the time i was downloading iTunes or something small like that and as soon as the d/load rate hit 1.5mbps the connection dropped. I had to reboot the router everytime.
