That is because I did not agree with it. If someone else starts a download as you explained it and it prevents you downloading a 500k (or the new 800k) stream then your isp is naff.

Then your router could be naff. Try looking into how you can setup QOS in your router.

I am guessing you are using ADSL. When you max out you upload it can have an effect on your download speeds. If you are FTPing your photos try a client that lets you limit your upload speed. That might help with your download issue.
