Just to clarify - The gnutella connections have at most 2 or 3 KB/s 
going across each of them - just queries from the network about what 
files are in my database.  I tend to think it isn't a problem with my 
bandwidth being used because the problem starts to occur very sharply 
when more than a certain number of connections are open.  Pings will 
jump from 80ms with 10 hosts, to 3000 ms with 15.  Not exactly a linear 
trend...

Some more info:

When the problem is occuring and I ping the modem itself 
(192.168.100.1), response time is fine, <2 ms.  When I ping my gateway, 
the problem is evident, large packet loss and several second ping times. 
  If I turn off gnutella, wait a moment, and try the same thing, all 
pings are <10 ms.
