Did a torrent just kill my wireless adapter or was it coincidence? WTF

If it was your wireless adapter, it could have been bad hardware or driver. Likely if the adapter has a Realtek chipset.
Guesses: Torrents might cause high load for routers because they connect to a lot of IPs? Signal strength too weak to properly connect to neighbor's network?

its a tp-link wn822n
it has shit drivers. The ones that came in the package crashed the computer while installing them and on other occasions. I completely removed them and got the ones from their website and it has been working ever since.
I find it weird though how a bad driver can fuck you once a year at a completely random time and it may or may not happen again

I looked up the event viewer.
Turns out its a problem with ICS that causes the same error at random a few times a week so i disabled the service. I had turned it on 3 days ago because a friend visited. Other than that there were 0 system errors.
Just sharing in case anyons bothers. You should really disable the ICS service.
