| | windows slows down while downloading large files Any time I download a large file (> 50MB for example), using any browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), over time the program downloading the file will use more and more memory, making the system run increasingly slower. Also the download speed will decrease over time. |

I don't know of any great solutions but just curious because mine would do that and I wonder if it is a memory leak in a driver or something similar. |
