I was 22.98GB over my limit with BT last month

**** BT, charge 30p per GB over my limit.

Then it's your ISP. Talk to them for help.

Wait, so they charged you 689.4 pounds? That's like $1,400!

WTF

30p per GB so wouldnt that be more of Â£6.89p?

LOL! 700Â£ that would be evil.

I know you say you have your ports forwarded but does your router have a firewall built in? if so it might detect the torrents as a DOS attack and temporarily block the IPs. Doesn't sound likely though.

If all you're talking about is occasional line drops then its prefectly normal for either your router or the exchange to drop the connection every now and then.
