Anyone know what might be happening?
I used to be able to browse concurrently with downloading, so something has changed recently.

Sounds like you have a slow connection and
RTMPdump is sucking the bandwidth out of it. Usually DNS queries are supposed to respond in a certain amount of time, else you get a timeout error. If RTMPdump is sucking everything down at maximum speed, then there is a possibility your connection is getting flooded and the DNS response is then taking too long to get through.
So what's changed? Perhaps the path your connection is taking to the servers is less congested now and RTMPdump is taking a fair chunk of the bandwidth now.
