You can easily fix it by going into the advanced options of your torrent client and reducing the max max number of global connections. It is probably set to unlimited atm. And before you say, no you shouldnt have to do that because all the routers I have had over the years and can handle more simultaeous connections that I have ever used. If you use torrents a lot, for this reason along with many others, I suggest putting the shub into modem mode and relieving it of its routing burden and investing in a proper router.

I have had my shub in modem mode for ages because of the problems i have with the router side. I built one of these and it works superb http://www.clearfoundation.com
