I've had this problem for a while. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I use µTorrent for my Bit Torrent needs. It's a great program, but I keep running into a very annoying problem; I can't seem to let it run on for too long without my connection suddenly dying, forcing me to reset my modem. I need to stabilize this asap. I just got into the FF14 alpha, which uses bit torrent files to download its huge content patches. 20 gigabytes of it.
I have a Cox high speed internet connection in San Diego and am running under Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition. Please help!

Bandwidth cap [uploads] it is what I would do.

I don't use Azureus. That guide is... well, it's greek to me. Speedtest rated me at 3.93 Mb/s download speed, .87 Mb/s upload speed.
I assume that's... what. 3,930 kb/s, 870 kb/s? I set it up according to a speed of 768 according to that chart.
Those parameters works for every bittorrent client.
Haven't been disconnected yet. If it keeps up I'll update.
EDIT: Just got DC'd. I don't know. Some sites just say that the RP614 just doesn't like uTorrent. Am I better off buying a newer router at this rate?
Excerpt:
Slow web-interface, or cannot connect at all to web interface
Slowing transfer of data, e.g. browsing, after a reboot
Not responding to ping
Router Crash or even rebooting
Usually the culprits are heavy P2P software like Emule, Bittorrent, uTorrent, Azureus, Shareaza or something similar. These programs, by default, can require a lot of connections which could cause the routers' ip_conntrack table to get full.
Especially BitTorrent's DHT feature sends thousands of UDP packets that quickly overflow this table.
Routers affected with this issue are the most common types of routers running DD-WRT.
In short, turn off DHT and limit the number of active connections. Limiting your upload is good too, but for other reasons (like being able to browse the web with torrents running, i.e. a primitive form of QoS).
Confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape,
But tonight, it's heavy stuff.
Set it to 100. Let's see what happens. Found DHT and turned it off.

I haven't actually checked if there has been a fix for that in an update, but I haven't needed to try. Worth checking it out if what you've done already does fix it.

You will want to get into your router and adjust your TCP timeout setting. I think 180 seconds is the sweet spot for me. Then you don't have to bother throttling the bandwich, and still use other Internet programs without overloading your router with TCP connections.
If you use DD-WRT, here is a handy guide:
