Ok, so trying to load this page so I can post this has taken 5 minutes already (and I mean that literally, according to Firefox) and it still has not loaded any of the smilies or anything like that. Yet I have a download going at an average of 297KB/s. Stop the download, makes no difference to the load time of web pages. What can cause pages to load so slow, yet downloads are flying?? I'm just using the standard Firefox download manager.
 
Running Ubuntu, so no, don't see it being any of that. Network usage is sporadic when loading pages, but constant when on a download.
