Default Glitchy internet connection when running bittorrent...

Ever since I bought my new laptop, I've been having flashes of time when my internet stops working. I'm unable to connect to any websites, MSN messenger is unable to connect, LogMeIn (a remote access tool) is unable to connect, etc. I'll be able to surf the web and other stuff for maybe 5-10 mins, then my connection will black out for about 1 minute. This becomes very annoying after a while. I have done enough experimentation to realize that it only happens when I have a bittorrent running. I am using BitComet right now, but I have tried other clients with the same results. Are there any settings I can change that might help my connection? I know the easy solution is to stop running BitComet while I want to surf the web, but I would prefer to have my torrents running 24 hours a day. Any help? Thanks.
