Haven't seen it with debian or bittorrent in particular... but I know my
Linksys doesn't like it when I open a large number of connections... I
would be willing to bet that your problem is when you try and download a
torrent with a whole ton of sources.
I would browse the documentation for btdownloadheadless in search of a
way to limit the number of simultanious connections... in fact I just
did. From the manpage:
--max_initiate number
number of peers at which to stop initiating new
connections
(defaults to 40)
--max_connections number
the absolute maximum number of peers to connect with
(0 = no
limit) (defaults to 0)
Try and adjust these values and see if it makes a difference... I bet it
will!
