This is the official line, but ive had mine stop working a minute after boot.. and had it still work 3 hours later... and everything in between. It seems to crash if you refresh the page too many times

It depends, your IP goes out to the torrent clients and they can still try and contact you long after you've closed torrent. This might be enough to crash the modem even though your connection is seemingly idle.
