Torrent downloads crash device

Hello,

I have a Readynas Duo with a 1TB samsung spinpoint drive.
Modem/Router is Netgear DG834GT with DGTeam firmware version 848

When downloading a torrent my nas regularly hangs. This can happen anytime between a few seconds to a few hours of downloading.. When the crash happens I can still power down the nas by holding down the button on the front but I can't access the nas at all through the web interface.. The nas also doesn't show up in Raidar. I'm inclined to think the router isn't the problem as I don't have the problem when downloading on my pc, also it didn't happen with my previous nas.

The problems seems to worsen if the torrent has more seeders/peers.

The problem also happens using transmission.

Any suggestions anyone?

Cheers,
Rob.
