A little more information may be required here....

1) is it a pace or samsung stb that you have? if pace, which model?

It's a Pace STB, one of the originals, I'll get the model number/type later.

2) which version of windows are you running?
Doesn't matter, it's not software, it's the actuall STB/Modem.
But i'm running Windows XP Home and Windows 2000 Professional
(Three computers)

3) are you using any peer to peer software?
Yes, Bittorrent, Bearshare lite

4) what model of router are you using?
Doesn't matter, it crashes with or without the router.

5) when you say downloading, what do you mean, http/ ftp/ bittorrent etc?
Anything
It could be downloading a single file via HTTP, or when using bitorrent.

6) are you using firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware software, and if so,which ones?
Even with them off, it does the same.

7) have you tried your connection without the router? if not, do so, and if so,
does this show an improvement?

Yes, it does the same thing, it isn't software, it's an actuall crash at the STB end.
