Yes it does affect the speed your computer runs, because it's using up not only the bandwidth of the computer but the memory of the computer to store files that it is downloading, it shouldn't have too great of an effect, but depending on the size of the download and how much memory you have it will vary

Every little bit of information on your hard drive slows down access. If you're talking about running programs or browser add-ons, those will be a drain on your available RAM.

Yes it can slow down other actions temporarily depending on how big the files are and what type of connection u have (dial up is the very slowest)
