stief has a spectacular aura about

Too many connections being attempted at once? (old incomplete downloads, ultrapeer connections, requests for uploads).
So . . .

-Set the prefs to NOT connect automatically at startup (gives downloads a chance to get settled before you connect)

-limit the number of incomplete downloads

--uncheck "allow ultrapeer" (only 4 or so connections will start, rather than 24+)

--set fewer slots for uploads

However, this sounds like the university network is having trouble with your connections. Is there an admin you can ask about the number of simultaneous connection you can use?
