Rapidshare access blocked after 2gb....

Hi , i have recently installed

Tomato Firmware v1.27.9045 MIPSR2-beta11 K26 USB Ext

Ony my netgear router, everything has been fine, untill i notice that i get a time out from rapidshare.com after i download 2gb or so of data, i can not access it though firefox even with ssl.rapidshare.com.  After a day or two it is fine. i have extra traffic share with rapidshare so i havnt hit my limit.

i am using virgin media in the uk, when i connect the modem to the pc it works fine, so not the isp.

i have read on another forum that it might be the modem dos or something thinking the modem is being attacked with all the data. but i am a complete noob when it comes to routers - so not sure how to check.

I havnt changed many settings in the router , other than static ips...

any help, thank you

I've downloaded multi GB ISO

I've downloaded multi GB ISO images without problem. Does your problem only occur with rapidshare?

yes only with rapidshare. I

yes only with rapidshare. I have pulled 5bg down yesterday with no problem, which seems strange, i had no trouble from my isp with bandwith, they just throttle it and not cause it to time out. But when it happens, i cant even get onto rapidshares website, and all downloads timeout

Does it have to be over 2GB

Does it have to be over 2GB per file, or over 2 GB total?

I'm on the same ISP, if I can (I don't have a premium account) I'm happy to see if I can duplicate your problem to see if it's VirginMedia that's the root cause.

I think the issue is not

I think the issue is not regarding to the router. It's may be the problem of rapid share server.

monday i pulled 6gb - all

monday i pulled 6gb - all fine
tuesday 2.35gb then time out
wednesday 5gb then time out
thursday - nothing
friday 3gb - timeout / then reinstall tomato firmware, reset modem - now am able to download again.

when i can not access the website, using http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ it shows the servers are fine.

i have never had this problem with the standrd d link router (only changed as i needed gigabit router)
