I have been having this same problem for over a year now... REALLY beginning to annoy me now... I have checked and tried EVERYTHING and the porblem certainly lies with the line...

I had a STB downstairs with a cable running upstairs (Installed by Engineer) And i was getting constant internet dropouts and very poor pic and signal breaking up with TV too... So they eventually, after about 3 callouts, changed the STB and plumbed me in a Silver Cable modem... Things were fine i bought a Wireless router so me and my friend could share the connection and all was fine...

So i started to use BitTorrent... And lo and behold the problem started again....!!! After a few mins of Azureus running the connection would drop out! I had to power off the router then back on and it would sort the problem... So i sold the Cheepo Belkin Router and bout a Netgear WGU624UK... But the same problems arose!!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I have been putting up with it for ages but it seems to be getting worse... I used to be able to reboot the router after the initial dropout and it would be fine for a few hours... But now its doing it constantly...

So yesterday i thought i would remove the router (Thinking that was the fault although VERY unlikely as i has the same problem with different router) and just run with the connection direct from the modem to PC using the Windows Firewall... Seemed fine for a few hours, downloaded a few files and was a bit happier... But shortly after it died again... Same error! (Connection to :Insert IP: ) Then shortly after i rebooted and fired up Azureus it did it again...

Almost had enough now and going to cancel it and get a BT Line in with another BB Provider... My friend has Bulldog.. he says its fast and has never dropped out on him...

BTW I am in Derby as well...
