I run Utorrent also, and what I've found is that if I throttle it back to 100kbps down and 30kbps up, it runs stable. Utorrent is a hog on resources any way you shape it. It slows down my computer if it is running ( 1.5 gb ram w/amd 2500+ processor ). I tried different routers because it would reset my connection or freeze it up because the router couldn't handle all the requests. I find that having it at the settings I posted, just about anything I want to download will be here by morning if I let it run over night and there are enough seeds to give me decent bandwidth. ( this was on comcast, I'm currently with Qwest DSL and haven't had any issues with it with these settings either ). It also allowed my wife to play here MMORPG while it was running.
