Hi,

I have a normal network setup in my house; ADSL Modem -> HP2915 -> Mac Pro, running LACP between the HP switch and the Mac Pro.

Lately I have been experiencing that I cannot download from two applications on my Mac Pro (MacPro6,1) at the same time. If I for instance am downloading using Unison, and it is downloading at say 1000 KB/s all is going fine. However, if I then open up iTunes, and start downloading a few application updates, Unison completely looses all download speed. It literally drops to 0 KB/s in a few seconds, and then times out. The second iTunes is finished downloading the updates, Unison picks up again from where it stopped.

I thought it was Unison that was been quirky, but it seems the same things happens if I am downloading something using Safari, Google Chrome eller Firefox.
