you don't mention any specs, but I've seen this problem on older computers and its caused by 2 factors....the slower cpus have a noticeable effect..and remember this, when you download a file it is spread all over your drive (i.e. its very fragmented)...this means your HDD is constantly searching all over the place for the next bit of data...

and of course its quite possible that its a bogus file...
