Hey,

I have a linky wireless router and if I keep bitcomet downloading overnight, it requires me to restart my router in order to browse in the internet. I've put a cap on my upload and download but still the problem pursues. I am with Telewest 4mb service. Am guessing the memory on the router keeps maxing out?

Have you tried limiting the connections torrent uses. Your router might not be able to handle so many connections.

It mostly happens when I leave the application downloading overnight. So when I use the internet the next day, I'd have to close down bitcomet in order to use the internet despite it still downloading.

There isn't an option to specify the number of connections.
 
Hmmm, maybe the router can't handle so many connections for such a long time.

BitComet should have an option to set how many connections can be used for downloading/uploading - all the clients I have used have had that options.
