You've quite a way to go to get my experience. In my 10GB was about
50mb of only-copy ASCII - the air turned blue

Let's make an experiment:
1. Terminate all downloads and activity on the internet.

I think that the problem is associated with the way that the Linux box treats
bind requests. Other than QoS which will try to allocate some bandwidth to
bind packets, or nice which will elevate bind's processes - you may want to

well could you use wget to get the files because they have a built in
rate limiter so you can say 120K or whatever

Nope. fixed rate limiting is not the answer. You need QoS at the
router level, but if it doesn't support it, you'll need to change how
your Linux box talks and listen to internet packages. That's what I
said -more or less- on my first reply.
I'm a believer in doing things

That sounds like a fine plan for me... but, erm, how does it know? Both

If your router doesn't give you bandwidth and/or traffic shaping
control, you can drop some packets. For example, the following rule
will accept up to 50 packets
