It's all about the packet load you push through the router.  It's absolutely
normal for setups that "seem" the same to nuke the router, because once you

Interesting, so is the router to blame or the OS?  Because you're fixing the problem by the OS, not changing the router.  Short of people buying beefy commercial grade routers for home usage torrent downloading, what's the solution?
