    ^ Explained in the topic.

    I've googled for solutions to this problem, but none of them seemed to work for me (e.g. changing Firewall settings, installing an older version, blocking eBuddy contacts, etc.).

    HOWEVER, I found a way around this problem, and that is to sign in to MSN via Hotmail, so that I'll be signed in to two places at once. I guess this 'stabilises' my connection. As long as I stay signed in to MSN via Hotmail, my internet stays connected.

    But, that isn't solving the root cause of the problem. The problem is still there, but the thing is, I've no idea what it is! Anyone had the same problem / having the same problem as me? Any idea what exactly is causing this? D:

    ...well. MSN is still fine for me, because it still works. Just that, I'm kind of disturbed that I'm not exactly solving the problem =/

    Thanks in advance for any replies!

    B-b-but D:

    All my friends are using MSN, and I'm kind of used to it already ._.
    !fail

    Hopefully this problem goes away on its own, just like how it popped out of nowhere.
    Think I'm the only one with this problem, argh D:

    Hmm, someone has told me that it may be problems with my router, but I've been having my router for years now, and this problem with MSN only popped up a few weeks ago. And it appears to me that I'm the only one with this problem; none of my friends have it o.o

    When you open BitTorrent, do you get disconnected entirely, or does your connection come back to life a few minutes later?
