Here's a case that perhaps you might be interested in trying.
Being WorldOfTanks player, I noticed that whenever the game is downloading an update, which it does by means of its own torrent client, it literally brings the local network to the knees. In my home, I can have 3 computers watching streaming video at the same time, and the slowdown will be nowhere near the one that occurs when Worldoftanks is downloading an update.
If you want to try it out, go to worldoftanks.com, download small starter, then launch it and allow it to download the whole game. Then in 2-3 minutes try to go to any website.
I think, this degree of network slowdown shouldn't be happening under any circumstances.
Another issue is that even if you force lowest priority of this workstation using router's QoS, there will be no noticeable improvement for other workstations in the LAN. I think there should be.
