There are companies that do that to your modem if you say, try to download a movie. They'll flood your connection and some modems will reboot. It may have nothing to do with RR at all.

Every time I attempt large file transfers my cable modem resets. I have tried this hardwired as well as wireless but I really do think it has to be a defective device or a blocking limitation I'm hitting... anyone having the same results?
