Since last JDownloader update (a day or two ago) everytime I'm downloading files my internet navigation goes back to dial-up days, it slows down beyond patience, taking about 20-40 seconds to open simple web sites and over 2 minutes to open heavy ones.

This only happens when downloads are active, and also only happens since latest update, before everything went as charm.

As aditional info, JDownloader open with all downloads stopped, navigation goes fast.

Please help me.

I would reduce the number of simultaneous downloads (Max.Dls.), and better, cap the download speed (Speed) until you get enough bandwidth for other Internet connections such as your browser's.

setup firewall correct, this is a normal behaviour if your firewall is not setup correct. please add java.exe and javaw.exe to the exclude list of your firewall and disable http/web scanner if possible.

if other tools are slow when jd is running, then its always firewall, virusscanner...because jd cannot influence other tools. how should it ?
