I have been having some problems over the past few weeks with my Linksys WRT54G router. Basically what was happening is that when I was using a BitTorrent client, I would lose network connectivity with other clients on my home network. I did some research and apparently it is a bug with the older versions of that model of router... something with the log filling up because of all of the connections that BitTorrent was opening and closing. I found that when I powered down my router and brought it back up it would fix the problem.

I finally got sick of it, and I found this open-source router firmware called Tomato. I loaded it onto my router and it has never run so fast and smoothly. I am getting almost double the BitTorrent speed I got before and not network connectivity problems.

Does anybody have any experience, bad or good, with Tomato?
