This is called ISP Throttle. They detect torrent usage and throttle your internet. If your not using a VPN or Proxy the ISP can detect torrent usage and will throttle and will restore internet when you stop using torrent. This a common occurrence with ISP providers.

they have no throttle. used win7 with utorrnet no problem. not ISP problem.
also having "the default gateway is not available" when torrent is downloading.

Believer what you want, I know they track torrent usage and can throttle internet and the IP address of computers. They most likely are more update to date to stop the IP address doing the torrent traffic without affecting others.

This can also happen when your using up all your upload. I'd suggest you limited the programs (Free Download Manager) upload to half of your connections available upload speeds. Options Icon -> Preferences -> Traffic Limits

This is ISP throttle regardless of download or upload. They don't send email or letter out anymore they just throttle your internet til you stop using torrent software. Or they get the notice of the ISP internet violation and if they keep doing torrent will be banned but they won't tell us on here. ISP are smarter nowdays about torrent usage and it's in their bottom line and business interests to stop torrent from bandwidth hogging their internet. Think about it someone hogging all the bandwidth prevent their other subscribers from using it.
