After some time of downloading torrents via Transmission the internet connection stops working, causing both torrents and sites to not load. This only happens on my machine (meaning other computers/tablets/smartphones in the house can browse just fine) and internet comes back exactly after I log out.
What is a little strange , as well, is that network manager shows that i am connected – i can also access the router's page at the time I am "offline"
Using utorrent to download torrents from windows 7 doesn't cause the same problem – neither using transmission on another ubuntu system running in the same network
I am connected using wi-fi, if that matters at all

I think you might be experiencing the same problem as the one discussed in Transmission slows down internet connection. This is my answer to that question:
I found that some routers just give up under the load of a badly seeded torrent when you use many connections.
