As long as Oblivion isn't an online game no, it won't. When I'm doing large-scale downloads (like the WoW client, or big patches), I tend to shut down all my other internet-using programs and fire up a single player game. Mass Effect, Fallout 3, whatever. Internet Speed != Processor Speed
Preload?
Did you not preload the three big chunks over the past few weeks?
Try going into preferences and turning off peer-to-peer. Blizz's torrent client will flood your upstream, severely reducing your download speeds.
Doh
I haven't downloaded the other stuff
Now I feel stupid
Oblivions Fault
It has kept me preocupied
Background Downloader
You can run the Blizzard Background Downloader while you play Oblivion or whatever. It's about 4gb of files and whatnot.
?
Won't that slow the download down?

Heh.
Yeah, when Blizz makes the background downloader available to you, USE IT. Otherwise you get royally screwed on patch day.
