question about router and shared connection on home network

[thyssen]

Hi, i have a netgear router and 2 pc's in seperate room that are "wired" to the router. I thought that we share the connection/bandwidth between the 2 computers. But while i was downloading something on my mom's pc at 140kb .. and had DU Meter (a prog that displays current bandwidth being used )installed on my pc.... it didn't display any bandwidth being at all. so how does that work? are we sharing the connection or not? If i am downloading something on one pc .. doesn't it slow things down on the other pc?
