wired network briefly disconnects when starting a torrent

[Karl Ostmo]

Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm not sure if this is a bug in network-manager or the transmission bittorrent client. When I initiate a new torrent with Transmission (e.g. http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent), the wired network disconnects. I used to use a wireless network card instead and it did the same thing. It happens almost every time, it seems, when there are no torrents running and a new one is added.

The network reconnects shortly beginning the torrent, and is fine afterward.
