I said it's unique because i can't find anyone with the same problem, sorry for the little information but i don't know what to say more, basically i downloaded a game 10GB game on firefox browser (by parts, 990M each) then a movie on torrent (2GB) after that i'm having a lots of ping spikes on my games, like when i enter a fight no matter what game, my network goes down and comes back after 10 sec more or less

That only means you have to do more research.

Torrent users have this sort of complaint over and over. The reason is well documented as follows. You download a movie (torrent or from a site) and if it's one of the usual copyrighted works there are companies that now attack your internet connection to make trouble for you.

Only your newest torrent and movie downloaders would call this unique.

Because of this I doubt you can fix this one. But you should find more folk to explain it to you but only if you reveal what you did. I've lost count of folk that don't share the details and go on and on then later, what is going on is revealed.
