Hmm, getting hot it seems.

You are using a Lan connection when torrenting right?

I would say that you need to post the output of the relevant bits of 
dmesg after you lose your connection again. In the past, there have been 
very hard to pin down kernel routing cache bugs and a lack of update or 
something driver bug for Realtek that can cause this but I believe they 
have been fixed quite some time ago...
