Do u have any P2P SW (for Example Limeware or any program for download music, video) install?
Open a command prompt, Go Start>Run and type "ipconf /all" without the quotation marks. This will tell us a lot. If u have any that looks like Automatic Tunneling Pseudo interface. U have some kind of P2P SW running in the background. Also not sure if Comcast is still doing this or not, but there was a time when they were managing network traffic.
The other option is time consuming and it might help is to see what service is causing this problem.
Go to>Start>Run and type "msconfig" there r 2 tabs that we r interested in Services and Startup.
First lets check Service Tab, U can checked the hide all Microsoft service. This will leave only 3rd party service running. One at a time unchecked a service and reboot, check to see if u r still downloading. Do this until u find the service (if any) that stops the download. If u find one don't stop, write it down and continue until u finish all services. The other Tab Startup pretty much the same, u can leave anything that states C:\Windows\sys32 for last. If u find something write back with a post and we can help u some more. I known this is time consuming, but we need to find the service first before we can trouble shoot.
