This seems like it may be the same issue I experience on my laptop (Intrepid beta), and have sporadically since Edgy, although I've never noticed the issue occurring during file downloads. Nonetheless, every now and then the touchpad will stop respecting my settings for tap-click and acceleration and such. A look through the logs seems to indicate that X is getting some unexpected data from the device and is having to reconnect. Some relevant lines:
