Description
This happens more when using Aria. Still happens with URLSession if you are downloading multiple things from different apps at once.
Happens mostly when downloading a new macOS version and Xcode version.
My WiFi stops working on the local machine until I close Xcodes

Research direction
Start by reproducing the packet loss while downloading multiple items through Aria, then compare the behavior with URLSession and concurrent downloads from different apps. Done means identifying the cause of the local WiFi outage and confirming that Xcode and macOS downloads no longer cause 100% packet loss.
