DC++ and bandwidth?

Is there a way to limit the upload speed. I have a 2 meg down 128k up on my cable. If my upload goes past about 11k/sec my download speed drops to that of a 56k modem. The net is at a snails pace. I'd really like to be able to share on the hub but if my upload speed is maxed out therefore killing my download speed i'm not going to be able to. I've went through all of the options i can find but i see nothing on limiting the upload speed only for the download which IMHO is kinda stupid.

DC++ totally trashes your bandwidth when someone is downloading or you're downloading. Not much you can do about it. Don't run DC++ when you want to use the Internet yourself.

there are other DC apps that let you throttle the output, but they all suck compaired to DC++
so if I need my cable I just close down the app

in the Advaced section of DC
settings there is a little check box that says
"use small send buffer (enable if uploads slow downloads alot)" try switching that on
