The issue is less likely to be the download connection speed, but the number of connections you are allowing with your torrents. Torrents throw our a mass of connection attempts as it tries to find any available seed. The router tries to keep track of those over a period of time. Track too many and it's internal memory overflows causing the crash. This was a common problem with some of the Linksys WRT54G routers which could be fixed by putting third party firmware on the router which added extra tracking options.

You do need to have a balance of the upload speed to ensure that that is not being staurated. Generally you shouldn't be higher than 80% of your maximum.
