Unable to use browser during downloads

With the recent ISP change to CenturyLink, I am downloading ridiculously fast. But during the downloads, internet browsers, as well as games, do not connect. The downloads are fine. Does anybody recognize this problem? It might be that I upgraded to 2.0 instead of the ISP change, but I'm just not sure.

Also, I've never had this problem before other than with uTorrent, but it could narrow down the possible solutions. The game you see in the screenshots on taskbar, Granado Espada, well it was updating, and my browser was slowed, and even stopped, in some instances. Could that narrow down the cause of this problem to my router? I've got all the settings set to default on the router.

I looked through the router settings. If "SPI Firewall" is the same thing as "Active Firewall," then yes, it is on.

The updating game might not even be a problem. I'm not sure. It's been updating since I replied back the uploading speed question and has only happened a few times. uTorrent is what really stops it all the time.

Thanks. I'll try that and see if that fixes the problem next time I need to use uTorrent.

EDIT: Disabling firewall, didn't seem to do anything, but I applied all the setting changes except for the last 2, in the link you posted, and it seems like it is working. But I'm just wondering, will those changes decrease my download speeds?
