Since my original question it suddenly occurred to me to use
Speedtest.net. This showed me that my download speed was 52 Mbps, just
whaat it is supposed to be. But my upload speed was only 1.67 Mbps,
where it should have been 25 Mbps or so. At the time I was uploading
distro torrents with Ktorrent, which told me that the total upload
speed was 700-800 Kbps, which would account for maybe a quarter of the
loss, but I need to figure out what is eating the rest of my upload
speed.

I tried iftop, but it doesn't seem to work, that is the display showed
nothing at all.
