I was away for the summer and my dad got a new router, so now my computer is on wireless internet.
Everything was fine, until yesterday I decided to open up Bitlord to download some things. Everything worked fine for about 20 minutes, after which the signal for wireless disappeared and I couldn't connect to it again (nothing would open when I would click on the icon in the bottom right corner). I restarted the computer and the internet was there, but the whole thing repeated once I started Bitlord again. So I gave up on it and went to sleep.
Today, I'm trying it again and it's still disconnecting after about 20 minutes. Could it be that I'm exceeding a certain number of MB accepted and it shuts off? I've restarted it 3 times already. Right now it's working, but I don't know how long it will last.

I have Windows XP SP2
The router is Dynex and my ISP is Shaw (not that it makes a difference, I think)

So.. help? :)

Bitlord caused me many problems
Try bittorrent and see if these problems keep happening.

Change your max upload/download settings in bitlord from unlimited to something low. Keep experimenting trial/error

EllaLovesYou and xSolox are the best, by far.

Let me ask you, do machines ever experience FEAR?!

Limit the amount of connections and the rates and see if that helps.
