I upgraded to XP recently, and I've now noticed I've been getting disconnected a lot lately, I am on DSL, all of my other systems stay on fine, but this is my main system, I stay on IRC and IM clients 24/7 and download a lot with BitTorrent, I was fine when I was on 2000, but now it seems like anytime I am idle, I get disconnected until whenever I get back to my PC, and it is very frustrating when you're expecting to download a large file over night only to find you've been disconnected, at first I thought it was the TCP/IP connection limit, I used the patch and moved up the connection limits, then I thought it was the Windows XP Auto-LAN disconnect thing, I done the registry edit for it, still disconnects, I have no idea why, I would really appreciate help on this, as this is getting highly frustrating. I've tried everything it seems, and nothing works. Thanks in advance.

Check with your ISP. There have been rumours that ISPs have been disconnecting extreme bit torrent users! IN THE MATTERS OF STYLE, swim with the current; in matters of principle, STAND LIKE A ROCK Visit Computer Vitals For A Pleasant Surprise

I don't think that has anything to do with it, because all of my other systems stay on fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.
