Internet Going In and Out

I have this odd situation. It's not particularly a very large issue but sort of odd and I'd like to know why this is happening. Seems like when my Internet is under heavy load (downloading Torrents or playing online games) my side Google widgets loses connection (since it displays current temps and such) and so does my browser. During this time I can't surf the web at all. I type in a web address and nothing happens, not even an error message, just a blank page. It then goes through is I button mash the "refresh" button.

Anyone got a clue as to what's going on?

What is your network setup? Do you have a router? Cable, DSL?

I have Verizon FIOS. Currently my set up includes a wireless router.

What is your OS? Vista in particular is problematic with some wireless routers.
