Julie Z: Setting your upload speed to 100% /can/ impact your download speed. If your upload bandwidth is fully used then ACKnowledgement packets may have to wait before they can be sent - this may appear to the other end as if you cannot send the data as fast as it is currently sending and therefore slow down.

Since my upload queue is always full, I find that unlimited upload bandwidth can chop my download bandwidth by 10-15KB/s.

By limiting bandwidth so that I have a spare 1KB/s or thereabouts upload bandwidth - I get full download bandwidth and very nearly full upload bandwidth (except when the uploads die off to 0KB/s).

You can also limit your upload bandwidth (sort of) by reducing the number of upload slots.

Given your apparent bandwidth (100+KB/s) I think that your main limits are the speed of the other end.
