You missunderstand sorry I should have been more clear in my post. I am using a modified bittorrent client and limiting the rates at which it uploads and the # of peers it can connect to and/or upload to at the same time. None of that has helped and my connection still drops, sometimes after only uploading a few megabytes at 2kb/s max rate.

I can thrash the hell out of the connection d/ling from FilePlanet or any other decent site at 75ish kb/s or play games such as Planetside which has a fairly large upload requirement and never get a drop out.

This is what baffles me so much about it, there is obviously more to the way p2p in general works than I know but it just seems so wierd that it has such an effect on my stb.
