Yeah, wth? If I leave any torrent program on I'll get a BSOD within 10 hours. It 1st started happening with uTorrent and now I've switched to trying Vuze (mostly because of supposed PS3 integration) I get the same thing. If I leave the machine on to DL something I usually come back (say after work) and its at the log in screen again and tells me that Windows didn't shut properly and Vuze tells me it didn't close properly. I've had BSOD twice this weekend when Vuze was on, with eventually restart to login screen.
Why would this be happening?

Are you sure it has something to do with torrents/torrent clients? It could be your motherboard that failed after some period of working f.e.

Make sure torrent app can communicate through your firewall, change the port to any random number between 49152-65535. Try not to run all your torrents at once, I usually run no more than 3 at a time.
Perhaps the tcpip.sys might be corrupt. Click start/run and type "sfc /scannow" w/o quotes. This might repair it. Check event viewer logs for any errors right before time of crash. Right click my computer/manage/event viewer.
Operating system version? System never crashed before torrents apps?

What antivirus software are you using, as that can sometimes be the cause - do any other programs cause the bsod..?

Vista 32 bit, Home Premium, AVG free version.
This only ever happens with torrent programs. I've had the machine on for ages without them, and several (10+) times this has happened when leaving torrent apps on for 4+ hours. Machine is usually stable for 24+hrs (I've only had it on continuously for 48hr once I think).
I'll try those other things Ladron, thanks.
