Which Bittorent client do you use?

You need to use a differant client, so of them use hella resources.

Try BT++ (http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/btplusplus/BTpp-0.5.4-bin.exe)

if you got a real smoking computer try azurezus, its a hog of resources, and you need java installed, but seems to download the fastest, you just can't have a lot of torrents open with it
I have had up to 7 open with shadows`

Off chance it is not the client, If the answer to the following question is not yes stop reading. Are you using XP?

If so check in device manager - network adapters, is that the correct name of your network card? XP does this too much, put in the wrong driver for nic's. All is good until the nic is forced to actually do more than normal usage, when high amounts of data is being passed - bang, reboot. Just a thought.

Edit: you are using XP, so maybee applies. Worth a look see.
