But the real problem is a different one. One machine begins an intensive downloading job. How can this degrade the network performance even for ICMP packets between another machine and the router? Notice that this can't be collitions because the download goes at 64kbps and the local network is 100 Mbps. Something funny is going on to stop other people's packets.
