It may have been a coincidence but it seemed very strange to me.

Azareus is quite hungry for system resources, but should not slow things down that much. I use it, & it's perfectly fine for me.
But, Azareus (& any other P2P app) should be set so that its upload speed is capped, preferably to something like 50% of your connection's actual upload speed. This is to stop it saturating the connection. If you let Azareus or other P2P apps use up all the upstream, it can kill your connection completely.

There are a few threads here, available via a search, all about problems using P2P software.
