Default Internet Downloading Problem
Whenever I am downloading a big file, It maxes out our bandwith and we cannot surf or go to any other sites until it finishes downloading, We get 20 or so KB a sec, and I was wondering if there is a way to limit the amount of bandwith it uses to maybe 15 or so, so I can still surf a little while it is downloading. I don't use any download accelarators or anything else, just the standard download utility that comes with IE6. Thanks!

What is a good Download utility? I want one that I can choose the location of each file, I don't want them all going into a certain folder than I have to sort them out. I also would like it to have pause/resume feature. And on top of all that, I don't want any spyware and preferably no adware, but one that regulates the bandwith usage.

Edit-Spelling

Star Downloader, also the Mozilla Download Manager is good too, but obviously only for Mozilla

Cool
QoS won't help you the least bit.

I've gone through a few download managers and the favourite so far is FlashGet (http://www.flashget.com/).
