I've had this wireless card for a few weeks now and havent had any issues at all. Yesterday I tried torrenting with utorrent and got a blue screen within minutes. Every time I start a torrent it blue screens within minutes. Limiting the bandwidth does nothing to help the situation. I even tried using generic drivers that windows grabs. They only have 1 driver available for windows 10 for me to try out. When I plug in through ethernet the issue does not appear. I have tried performing scans with malwarebytes as well as many other antimalware software packages. Anyone have any ideas?

As of yesterday I am using the latest drivers. I am mostly just looking for a way around it since I can't stay plugged into Ethernet. Is this just an ongoing problem, or is this getting worked on now?

Some Broadcom wireless chipsets are known for being buggy. Unfortunately, it looks like some new Intel wireless chipsets also have some issues. A Qualcomm or Ralink card might be your best bet.
Or get another wireless router, flash it to DD-WRT, and set it to client mode.

BSODs when torrenting are often down to networking related drivers/filters or remnants of them remaining after an uninstall. Look for firewall (esp. Zonealarm), VPN, AV etc. Use Driverview to check loaded 3rd party drivers and look at the modified date column, ideally, driver date should be later than the latest SP release date - though W10 refreshes/upgrades make that difficult. Post June 2015 drivers are likely to be more stable than anything earlier, which really should be avoided where possible
