So i just installed uTorrent yesterday and left it downloading overnight. What is happening is, my internet connection is disconnecting regularly while uTorrnet is running and then quickly reconnection. I checked Event Viewer and it has a MASSIVE amount of RASClient events, some of which are errors (which have probably caused the connection to fail). Here is what the error message looks like:

As far as i know, RAS stands for Remote Access Server, which is when you use your internet connection from a remote place? According to my Event Viewer, which is spammed by events such as...

... a connection is being dialed ever 20 seconds. Whats going on? I am directly connected to the internet through a modem, so i don't know why RAS is showing up.

This has only happened while running uTorrent atm, not sure if its happened somewhere else. Im running Vista Ultimate x64, using a Crosshair mobo which has the nforce network controller.

Thanks for any help.
