I had the exact same issue today. I was in the library at my college downloading a large PowerPoint file from a text book publishers website, and all of my browsing ground to a halt and three of the pages timed out. I don't know the exact network setup as it is the colleges open wireless network. They don't prevent torrent downloads since I was able to download p2p files on my Vista laptop. They do limit sending email via outlook, LOL. The laptop that I am using is less than a month old Toshiba bought from BestBuy running Windows 7 Home. This is the first time I have ever used Windows 7 so I don't know all of the ins and outs like I did in Vista on my older laptop. I really didn't realize this to be a problem until I saw the post from BlackShock. I honestly thought the network was slowing down but since my active download was speeding along, I really didn't complain much.
