Is it 20k? :) That might mean your modem was congested from too much connections.
Never-the-less, as Jarudin put it, I suggest that you don't use external hdd for p2p activities. Especially usb powered 2.5" ext hdd can blow easily because of heat and USB can not feed the hdd electronics enough power. At least by an ext hdd that can be powered via its own DC power supply.
FYI, concerning your ext hdd that has IO problems, I had the same issue. I disassembled the hdd from it's casing and using it internally now. It was the USB-SATA controller circuit on the ext hdd that was the source of IO errors.

Well, this might be difficult, as my torrentbox is an ASUS eee901, a 9-inch netbook with an internal storage of 14 gb... Ofcourse i could buy one of the internal drives for netbooks, but they only go as big as 250gb and the price is 5x higher per gigabyte than with USB hdds.
Even then, I have plans about inserting an eSATA port on the eeepc. This will require some case modding and motherboard welding, but this is not a problem, as I already upgraded the eee with touchscreen and G3 support.

Well, DUH ;p
Yes, I am using an externally powered one.

Hmm, as said, this will be difficult as the whole netbook with the screen closed is no "taller" than a SATA drive... ^^

ohh, I meant, you can use it internally elsewhere, the hdd is possibly fine.
ps. I intend to buy a netbook too, for torrenting etc, I was waiting for esata support :D

After putting them in (even tho I only have 6 as my max number of active torrents) the upload rate skyrocketed to my new max of 200 kB/s (it usually takes some minutes), and is stable.
Usually, the instability starts to happen after about an hour of seeding, but lets see this time. I am feeling confident that the problem is solved because of the quick initialization of the upload.
Before, because I just wanted to get as much upload speed as possible, I didn't really think about the consequences of setting for example global max connections to 20.000, or max upload slots to 15.000. Actually, it seems pretty stupid now where I am thinking it through again

20k!? Haha. ;D
You can still reduce the number of upload slots per torrent down to 2-5 if needed. Also check the " use additional slots if upload speed is >90%" and let µtorrent automatically decide if more upload slots are needed.

Heh, yeah, it is on also.
Ok, it has worked for more than 6 hours now, so I guess it is solved ^^
I will be sure to let you know if there are any other problems ;p
