Could you post a screenshot of the download menu? (The one with all the blue/green lines)

That's a normal download. When the blue line drops to 0 (internet activity) the green line (disk activity) is still up, meaning the disk is still unpacking and allocating files. You have a pretty fast connection, and you're downloading on a slow HDD, and your connection is just waiting for the drive to catch up.

Not much other than installing on an SSD.
