Thank you for your suggestions.. however in this particular case I
still can download at 615Kbytes/sec .. at least now I can download at
a lesser rate with the following:

altq on $t_externa bandwidth 200Kb hfsc queue { bulk, ack }
queue ack bandwidth 20% priority 2 qlimit 500 hfsc (realtime 40Kb
upperlimit 40Kb)
queue bulk bandwidth 80% priority 1 qlimit 500 hfsc (realtime 120Kb
upperlimit 120Kb default)


But I still cannot accomplish what I need.
