Anyone else having trouble with cgminer 2.0.8 requiring periodic restarts to solve network issues?

I saw this morning that my hashrate was pretty much zero on both my machines and had been for an hour or so. It kept switching pools and complaining the main pool and failover pool (slush) were too slow. Hashrate of bitminter and slush pool itself was good, so it had to be me.

Checked my internet connection and it seemed fine. Restarted my routers nonetheless. No change.

Then I stopped and restarted cgminer on the linux machine, and it instantly worked smooth again, no performance or network issues, while the other miner (windows) still kept complaining about "slow to respond" and having 0 hashrate most of the time, with only short bursts of normal performance on any of the pools. Both machines are on the same LAN, so it didnt seem like a network issues. After restarting the second cgminer, it also instantly performed fine again.

Im a little confused? Ive never had this. I had cgminer 2.0.7 running for months nonstop and Ive had cgminer 2.0.8 up since it was released with no problems.

I have this issue too. If I start some download which consumes 100% of my link, the miners can't reach the pool and, the hashrate slowsdown and, never come up again automatically. So, I need to stop/start cgminer.
Sounds like bad QoS settings on your router.
