Default limewire and crashing BEFSR11 router

Hi I installed the limewire product a few days ago.

www.limewire.com

No problem with it except that it seems to crash my Linksys BEFSR11 router
when I have multiple file downloads going on. I have a 2 to 4 MB download
rate so I like to be able to queue up multiple files and go to bed and have
them done the next morning.

Step taken so far:

Updated Linksys firmware from version 1.42.3, to 1.42.6.
Still the same problem.

I have my computer set to a static ip, and was using port forwarding, for
various other program(s) and limewire.

Turned that all off.
Still the same problem.

I went so far as to try different Linksys BEFSR11 (I sell a lot of these
babies, so I have a few on hand).
Same problem.

Set ip to DHCP. (Figuring what the heck let be really systematic about
this.)
Same problem.

I fix the problem by powering down the Linksys and powering it back up,
(about 20 seconds for it to start working again).

Anyone else having the same problem?

I am sending this to Linksys for support.

Any suggestions?
