This week, i have been running utorrent during the day and when i return home from work my connection has been lost, i have to unplug my modem, leave for 10 seconds, then re-connect and everything is then ok, Is this a faulty modem or is it because of runnung utorrent ? Also, My wireless router switches off at 23:00 but after that time the upload and download light on my modem start flashing, Even when pc is turned off. Do not understand, Please advise..

Does the same thing happen if you don't leave UTorrent running? The lights will continue to flash as the modem will continue to respond to data being sent to it from the UBR and other Utorrent users who will continue to try and connect to you while you are away.
