I think it's more likely that you're overflowing the queue in your dsl-modem 
by not limiting the maximum upload bandwidth used by mldonkey. This is a 
common problem with asymetric connections like ADSL lines. You can work around 
this problem by either limiting the maximum upload bandwidth in mldonkey 
itself or use another means of traffic shaping (like DUMMYNET) to limit the 
bandwidth used by upstream connections to some value below the maximum 
upstream capacity  of your ADSL line.
