Bittorrent Closes Connection

[draven462]

My internet connection is just fine most of the time. However, whenever I start a torrenting client (Transmission, Deluge, etc), I lose the connection within 2-5 minutes. The message, “Connection failed-Activation of network failed” comes up. I am also unable to use my browser. My network still appears in the network configuration window, but I am unable to reconnect. I keep having to type in my password, to no avail, and have to hard restart. It seems I have the same problem as this person here

I ran the test to determine whether my ISP is shaping traffic, but it revealed no shaping for up or downstream traffic.

I tried to reconfigure my clients. I have Deluge set to 18 max connections, 200 Kb/s upload and download. This does not have an effect.

Here's some info about my card

lspci -vv -s 0c:00.0

Here's is some output info when I begin to download

 cat /proc/net/wireless
Inter-| sta-|   Quality        |   Discarded packets               | Missed | WE
 face | tus | link level noise |  nwid  crypt   frag  retry   misc | beacon | 22

Here's some info after a 2-3 minutes

 cat /proc/net/wireless 
Inter-| sta-|   Quality        |   Discarded packets               | Missed | WE

And, when I lose the connection 3 minutes or so later, I have this

 cat /proc/net/wireless 
Inter-| sta-|   Quality        |   Discarded packets               | Missed | WE
 face | tus | link level noise |  nwid  crypt   frag  retry   misc | beacon | 22

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[EDIT] This did not happen with uTorrent in Windows XP.
