If I run azureus on my laptop (dell 600m, centrino) after about 10 minutes I can no longer access the internet. Connection is still there and reading strong, but everything times out. Any ideas why?

Thanks!

It's probably not the client software's fault. I'd bet it's because bittorrent connects to a LOT of other people, and wireless just isn't meant to handle that many connections. In Azureus, you can adjust the max number of connections. Try making it less, like a lot less, and see what happens.

Try capping your upload to less than the max on your connection. Asynchronous broadband connections die when you can't send acknowledgments.
