I have a problem on my computer. If I open a torrent the download starts and after a few moments it goes back to 0. Then I lose all connectivity, Windows says there's no Internet connection and the only way to get it back is have to reboot the computer/modem. Once I do that everything works fine unless i start downloading a torrent.
What I tested:
It's not the client, it happens with old and new utorrent clients and deluga.
It's not the router, all other computers on the network have Internet normally, while I go offline.
This is not a case of low speed because the torrent suck up the connection.
Both the torrent and navigation stops and Windows 10 network center says no internet connection, disabling/reenabling the network has no effect, only reboot fixes it.
Any ideas?

This is usually caused by routers that do not have sufficient memory for the simultaneous connections that are running. You are most likely overloading your routers nat/state table.
Try going into your torrent programs advanced settings, dial the concurrent connection settings back till you stop experiencing the issue.
Upgrade your router to one that has more memory (ram not flash space). You can also try updating the firmware, it may just be a bug that's not allowing that nat table to clear old connections.
Check your cable modem logs, the cable modem can be reached at 192.168.100.1, looking for T3 dropouts and any other time out based errors. They can be resolved by Comcast at the street level.
