Clearing TIME_WAIT connections

    I got a new wireless card lately, and whenever I have something like uTorrent or eMule open, a whole load of connections are opened. Even if nothing is downloading, within a few minutes it's almost impossible to open webpages (even my router's config page).

    When I close eMule, and run netstat, I get all these connections there for a few minutes, and webpages are still extremely slow to open until these connections get cleared.

    I've edited out a lot there, but you get the picture.

    Is it right that all these connections are being opened? Can I limit the amount being opened, because I don't think the wireless card can handle them all. Is it possible to just flush all of them, or must I wait for them to time out?
