Network failure caused by torrent client?

I have 3 PC's connected on SMC wireless USB print server router (but they
are connected wired, not wireless), Vista RC2
I noticed kind of odd behaviour when running torrent client -i tried Azureus
and uTorrent - both start fine, start to download, but then after a while
(might be 5 minutes, might be 15) d/l falls to zero, and when i open network
tab (of windows, i mean) i see only my PC is there, no router, no home
network, no other 2 PC's. Trying to repair fails, disabling and re-enabling
fails, only solution is to reboot.

Any clues what might cause this?
 
"Stop downloading illegal stuff . . .
-right.
But, then again, who said i d/l illegals? Only legal stuff..."

As far as the problem goes, I haven't seen it with torrents here ( I just
use a wired router ) but at random times, windows mail gives a "no internet
connection available error". I have an always on connection and selecting
"try again" always gets it working. I'm thinking this is a network problem
in Vista in general rather than a torrent problem. Most likely will be fixed
by in RTM.

I'd say it's Vista problem, too. Since it's hardly that i'd get same
behaviour on two programs. I too have permanent connection (wired, i keep
wireless part off), since router is connected to Internet. But funny thing
is that when this happens, i can't even reach router - same old error.
However if i d/l normally, directly via Explorer, all is OK...
 
I have the Same Problem. I couldn't get Azureus to work more than a hour or
so. I had to reboot the system to get connection again to anything, even my
router. But I could get uTorrent to work fine. It seems to be a problem
with tcpip.sys and it's concurrent connection limit. Pretty Strange that I
didn't have this problem in RC1, or XP SP2, which both have the same
connection limit from what I understand.
 
Seems to be a problem with build 5728/5744 and nvidia nforce 4 or those
with the nvidia marvell 88E1111 lan controller. Oddly utorrent works but
it's slow compared to azureus which makes me wonder a java/azureus prob with
builds after RC1 on nvidia?
 
Interesting which implies they've done something to the network "stack"
that's broken things for some.
 
Not sure about that,but it's happening on other hardware then just
nvidia;that i can attest to.

i have nvidia 4 chipset, and sure also LAN card...(DFI Infinity mobo)
i hope they'll solve the problem in final version...
