I think you missed my point. Nothing else on your PC downloads as hard as Newsbin does. So, it's not shocking that it's revealing problems with the networking side.
I'm not sure what kind of answer you're expecting from me. At its heart Newsbin is a pretty simple beast. It doesn't tweak any of your windows settings and requires no special permissions. It's just doing what windows lets a normal application to do. I can't imagine any software changes I can make that will change these symptoms at all.
What happens if you bypass the PFSense firewall and go directly to the router?
As a work around, you might reduce header connections. One way to do that is to add a second duplicate server to your existing one. Then set the primary server to 2 connections, set the priority to 10 and make sure "download headers" is checked. Then go to the new server, uncheck "Download Headers". Set the priority to 1 then set the connections to 2 less than it was set before.
Then the 2 connection server will only download headers and the rest of the connections will only download files.
You want the old server to be the header download server to avoid re-downloading headers.

Firefox or chrome and thunderbird are open most of the time.
