Or uploads.

Ethernet is a broadcast protocol. In the absence of a switch, everything on the network sees all the packets all the time, and has the opportunity to interfere/collide with them. In your specific case, something's probably generating extraneous packets that wasn't before - a neighbor is running something ill-behaved, or your ISP is doing a malware scan, or someone's leeching your WiFi, or you're running a torrent on one of your PCs.
