Now if your share ratio drops below a certain %, then your downloads will lose speed until your uploads catch up to an acceptable level. The greater the difference between Download v's uploads where D's is the greater, then the slower downloads will get. From memory it's roughly below 0.7 or so ratio where the speed difference happens.

Likewise my ratio is above 2.
