I just started getting this problem ,and even after an OS reload from scratch, I still get it

I'm running XP Pro, Service pack 2
I wanted to download a bunch of iso's for Linux and frequently use Azureus (Bittorrent) as my download program
When running the program, it's operating slowly, to say the least
Downloads never go higher than 30kb/sec (I'm on the 2mb service)
Also, while running this program, or any bitorrent program, anything else internet based, like surfing, checking emails or even sending Instant messages via AIM/Yahoo/ICQ sometimes fail or are VERY slow
I've capped the upload speed, as I alllways do, to 5kb/sec, so it's not like my line is saturated or anything
The only thing I could think of was the connection limit in XP, so I bumped that from 10 to 100, but it's still the same.

Anyone know what might be causing this? Before, I never used to have a problem and could download at 200kb/sec before noticing any performance problems.
