I agree that this is a Lucid specific problem, but for him.  I
disagree that it's not his Asus notebook or Realtek NIC though...  Or
at least, I don't think that the hardware configuration is not
related.

There's got to be something going on with his configuration and Lucid
that wasn't present in previous Ubuntu releases.

As data points, I have no problems at all with any torrent clients, or
any other network transfer protocols on either my M15x (with Intel
copper and wireless cards) nor on my Lenovo S-10 with Broadcom copper
and wireless cards.

And no one else here seems to have the isues the OP has either, on a
range of different hardware.  So there has to be something specific to
his hardware configuration and Lucid... the problem is, no one seems
to be able to figure out what that is.

My question is, falling back on the old "file a bug" thing is why has
the OP NOT filed a bug yet, if he has not done so?  It seems that the
logical place to start would be to file a kernel bug as this is most
likely a driver issue.

The next question is, why torrents?  Does he also lose connectivity if
he tries, say, scp or ftp of large files concurrently?  Is it network
loading that's doing this, or something else?

I don't recall seeing whether he's tried any other network transfer
protocol other than torrent to determine this...
