Can I ask any other members if there loss of service mainly happens when using bittorrent. I constantly lose connection whenever bittorrent activity increases i.e. a torrent with many seeds/peers. Is the Ambit 120 able to accept many connections at the one time. I have no problem with speeds while surfing or downloading with any other method. Downloading via IE gets me 1.25mb sec, zooms through downloads, via DC++ very high speeds also, but with torrents, as soon as the torrent picks up more connections the modem cuts out. Thats not to say speeds aren't great cos they can be, it just cant handle many connections. I've used torrents for ages and never had any problems while on NTL 2mb broadband. I don't think it's a coincidence that the connection cuts out while using this file sharing method. This happens with/without firewall, or all other obvious fixes.
