a few weeks ago i got the 5 port 10/100 netgear router from this site, for the most part i havnt had problems.

now that ive started using bit torrent again i am having problems, i had to play around with both my client and the router to get UPnP to work, so bit torrent works most of the time, and my router correctly shows the ports used by bit torrent in the UPnP page. the problem is, this was working fine for a while but now im having problems connecting to EVE Online, webpages seem much slower then usual, and when i did a netstat i have 6 connections from myself, to localhost (ie, connections from and to myself) on ports around 3157.

im not sure what exactly i need to do to get eve online working all the time and have azureus working and having UPnP correctly mapping the ports.

EDIT: ok, i entered the eve online ports into 'port triggering' since my lan ip is dynamic due to the router assigning me an ip (thus port forwarding not working), and that seems to have worked at let me use eve online.

should i also enter my bit torrent ports in port triggering too, or should i just leave UPnP to sort it out?

well my problem has gotten worse, started my pc today, ran bit torrent to continue my download then went afk for a few hours, when i came back, my bit torrent and irc was working fine (albeit slow) but websites (including this site, and even my routers website for configuration) kept giving me a 'connection closed' each time i tried to use the site.

in the end i had to close down azureus and that seemed to have made irc a bit less laggy, and websites work without giving me a connection closed error.

does any1 know what the problem is? at first i thought it may be azureus maxing the connections my router could handle, and thus my router closing any new connections like websites, but azureus only had less then 50 users connected, so i daubt its that as ive had over 500 ppl connected before.
