It sounds like this is exactly the problem. Why does my router shut off if there is too much traffic? The router doesn't actually shut off but it stops working.

It's a three month old router (from the isp).

This doesn't happen when I resume 50+ downloads, and it doesn't happen when I force resume 50+ "waiting for sources" downloads. It happens when I leave it on overnight with a few downloads.

I have set max upload slots 5. I am frequently at max bandwidth somehow (see other post). I had no idea the router would stop working with high stress.

I get the feeling someone is messing with my computer (some sort of hack or something) as it doesn't happen all the time, and doesn't seem related to bandwidth issues as I mentioned.

I am perhaps being paranoid about this.

The other issue is that this was happening during a couple-day period of rains in my state. It might have something to do with the router issues (but I'm not sure why). I haven't had an issue in the last day when it's been dry.

Thanks for the help,
