While the solution you're referring to is for ADSL lines, I think it solves 
a different problem, where a full-bore upload starves downloads. Besides, 
Johnny says his upload speed drops to near zero. If memory serves, in the 
reverse situation (full-bore upload starves downloads), the download speed 
is still at least 10% or 20% of maximum. Lastly, he says he has 10Mbps 
up/down (posted after your reply, I think); the starvation issue is most 
noticeable for asymmetric connections.

Johnny: have you tried checking the output of netstat -i from the
exec.phppage and looking for input errors, output errors, or
collisions?
