Frankly, no it doesn't, but my guess is that your router is getting swamped by all the P2P traffic and falling over. I've found that some routers are worse than others for this.

I'd bet that if you shut down the P2P software, your network will be back to normal after a couple of minutes, once all the traffic has died down.

I don't think you should worry about IP spoofing.

Oh, just thought, if it's the router then any other computers on your network will also grind to a halt; if not, then it's not the router.
