If you set the TCP/IP's ACK packets into a high query (like 100), you
won't notice the upstream effecting the downstream. Create a new rule,
and set it so all outgoing TCP packets that have the ACK flag are in the
highest query you have.
If your queries are set to the numbers 1 and 2 right now, setting the
ACKs into a query of number 100 level is fine. ACKs are very small
packets, and all they do is acknowledge whenever you receive a packet
over a TCP/IP connection.
This method requires that you are tunneling this through a pipe that is
smaller than your max upstream bandwidth. This is so your cable/DSL
modem/etc doesn't query your packets.
