I recently installed Fetch 5.1.
It came with a dashboard widget.
I installed that when asked during installation.
After that my internet connection often dropped to a crawl.
Sometimes my Airport connection died entirely and only a restart would fix it.
I uninstalled the Fetch dashboard widget.
MacOS X 10.4.7
My Macintosh PowerBook 15" (12/05) now works fine.
 
Interesting...
I've been running the Fetch Widget for some time, on both my PowerBook and my Intel iMac, with no problems. Have you contacted Fetch Softworks to let them know about the problem you're seeing?
