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

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