The thing you need to understand is that the router on your end is on the
wrong side of the link to do QoS for incoming traffic.  It's your ISP side
that really needs to implement the QoS or shaping.

If your uplink is getting saturated at the same time, the QoS will help
there with the outgoing packets.

Your best bet may be to limit individual internal machines to something
slightly lower than the full bandwidth of the link, so that TCP
back-pressure will keep the link from being full, and will leave some extra
space for other traffic.  Unless that's also a big download...
