What BT client are you using - if possible, you should use one where you can limit your upload - you want to limit to about 70-80% of you upload rate, althought I'm on 1Mb, and i've set mine to 15K (globally). I'm using Azureus, and since doing this, but also my pace 4000 box was swapped out for a 1000+ model, with azureus running constantly, my connection has been fine for.....(checks !)....over 9 days, without dropping once.

I don't know if it was the limiting of the upload though, I think my problem was mainly due to the crappy 4000 model STB, but I've read several places reccomending limiting your upload - give it a go, it can do no harm !
