Everytime I download more files with the downloadmanager the whole system becomes slow. Even Firefox get's slow and make the mouse move over the screen extremely slow. It happends on number of files. When I use IE to download the same files as well there is no problem. When the download is ready and all the files are on my desktop the system becomes "active" again and all the slowness is gone. I have a AMD Quadcore and all the latest drivers. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a good system running Vista Home Premium
2.Go to a site and try to download 4 rapidsh. files on your desktop
3.Then try to surf along at the same time
