If the router is far away from your computer then the quality of the connection would suffer.
Also, if you are using file sharing programs (Limewire, BitTorrent, etc.) you have to do some tweaks in your router settings in order to allow downloads to transfer well. Go to the link below and it will show you how you can set this up. It's called "port forwarding" by the way.

try to check the memory allocation of your computer and also the speed... this are some of the solutions, you can either upgrade the memory to increase the speed and also downloading too much also affect the speed of your computer. try to delete files or folders that is no longer important...
