You say it's messing up your downloads. Are you using any P2P type programs? If you are uploading heavily at the same time as donwloading the bandwidth can saturate causing crashes. Limit the upload rate to no more than 3/4 of the maximum bandwidth so there is always room for downloads to send out thier acknowledgement packets. Even 3/4 maximum might be high dependent on the maximum bandwidth you get in your area due to contention.

Make sure you have current drivers for your ethernet connection.
