Torrents disconnect my DSL router?!?

Weirdness.I've stayed away from torrents for years because of the legality and general dodginess aspect. But recently I've reason to get some (legit) files and am noticing a strange problem. I start a download and after a few minutes my broadband router will disconnect and drop the DSL connection.I can restart and restart the router without success until I stop the torrent from the client (Tixati) and then another restart will bring the connection up again. I restart the torrent and it will run again for a while before falling off.This has happened since I started. I've tried throttling the connection in both directions with no luck. I'm running Windows 7 and have a Vodafone DSL2 connection, usually around 12 Mbps.Anyone with any ideas?CheersJon
