When you keep it running it's searching and downloading performance

1. Is unfortunately not an option

2. My computer runs really fine, no problems whatsoever.
My internet connection: Download, Upload: 16384 kbit/s, 1024 kbit/s

Maybe something is wrong with my settings in bearshare?
- forced ultrapeer
- hosts 0
- uploads limit 250 (lowering or disabling wont help)
- dl limit 16380
- get up to 30 files at time
- 8 connections per file
- 20 connections total
- enable sparse files

I don't even have to download anything, just as I open up my browsing gets really slow.

Any idea?
