If the upstream is saturated by uploading and you try to download, acks can't get through and thus get delayed. If the acks aren't recieved in a timely manner by the sever you are downloading from, the packets are registered as lost and will be retransmitted -- thus reducing your download speed.

Cap the upstream at 'X' (X being a number you're comfortable w/).

It depends on the programs that you have running. I know that you can cap the upstream on eDonkey2000 (http://www.edonkey2000.com), WinMX (http://www.winmx.com), and AudioGnome (http://www.audiognome.com), and I know you can cap it if you're running IIS, but other than that, I don't know if it can be done.
