Hi,

When i download big files using torrents through wireless, the machine just hangs(drops dead) with a blank screen. This happens when the downloading time exceeds more than 30 hrs.

I switched to wired connection and everything was fine. But in wireless mode, if the download time exceeds ~30 hrs, the machine just goes blank.


My configuration:

Ubuntu 8.04 - Gnome
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Netgear Router
utorrent in Wine (but i have tried ktorrent as well, but same problem)

Would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Does nobody downloads stuff in their ubuntu box?!!

Noticed that my kernel panics. The caps lock keeps blinking..

Help me out!!
