Connection drops when downloading from utorrent

Do you have the torrent upload restricted? If you don't it will hog the line and kill everything else using it. Restrict the upload to about one third of your upload speed while you are using the PC, unrestricted when you are not.

This is a good point, my sweet spot while download for is 18 on the upload, then once downloaded I let it seed at full bandwidth over night

There is an extension telephone cable to the router

That is never a good idea. Unless it is a properly made twisted pair cable you will have problems. An ordinary flat phone extension will pick up interference, putting down the speed or even knocking the connection off completely.

If you can't place the router close to the master socket then get a properly made extension. Runitdirect will make one up for a few pounds, or you can get it off the shelf if the length suits - NTE2000 ADSL Extension Kit, 10M

okay I will try testing it without the extension cable however I have been using this for a while and it is only recently that I'm getting this problem. I also turned off UPNP but still no difference.

Here are my router stats:

WLAN		850	443	0	0	0	0:03:53

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	18015 kbps	766 kbps
Line Attenuation	21.0 db	9.0 db
Noise Margin	7.3 db	8.5 db

About the only thing questionable there is your upload, it is a bit low for your download sync.

Are these taken from the Master/Test socket or with the phone extension?
