You might want to check your harddrive dma settings. If your harddrive is set to pio then your cpu will have to do the disk i/o instead of letting the chipset do it. The symptoms are when you are downloading anything your machine will slow to a crawl. You can check with hdparm -I /dev/hda and you can set it with hdparm -d1 /dev/hda. This is a long shot but I have seen this before.
