I have a belkin f5d7230-4 router. It works fine for regular internet surfing, but a lot of strange things happen when I try to use bitcomet. If I try to download from bitcomet, after about 15 minutes or so, the speed drops drastically, then reaches 0. This is when my router just disconnects and I can't connect to it anymore or the internet connection disappears but I am still connected to the router. In either case, the only way to get it back running is to unplug/replug the power to the router. Even stranger is that when I just have bitcomet on period, not downloading, all the torrents are stopped, it still eventually disconnects. Does bitcomet access the router/internet when no torrents are downloading?
Anyway, I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with the number of connections I have on bitcomet. If I download one torrent, it slowly dies. If I download multiple ones, it dies even quicker. I've played around with the advanced->connections menu but I really don't know how to configure it. Can someone help me out here?

That doesnt seem to be the problem because your max connections per task is only 40. Most Bitcomet users, myself included have about 225+ as our max connections. First problem, you should NEVER download more than one torrent at a time so dont do it anymore ;) If you really think it is the connection than try dropping the "max connections per task" even lower than you already have it.
Note: If this setting is lower than 200 your downloads will be VERY slow.
Yea this happens even if there's only one torrent downloading. I am not sure what the problem is. I can't just go return it and say "I can't download from bit torrent and it drops my connection" as a good reason.
Edit: I did a test where I just opened bitcomet and had no torrents in the window, completely blank. Waited for a minute. I got disconnected. It is definitely tied to bitcomet or torrent programs (azureus does the same thing). I think its real bizarre...
Its deff. a tie between ur isp and BitTorrent. Have u tried using Peergaurdian 2?. It might hide ur Bt client from ur isp. If not, u might need to switch isp's.
it has nothing to do with port forwarding. The connection drops completely. I have forwarded the ports already and they work fine when tested with the Azureus port test thing (I installed Azureus just for that purpose).
