Thank you for your suggestions.. however in this particular case I still can download at 615Kbytes/sec .. at least now I can download at a lesser rate with the following:
altq on $t_externa bandwidth 200Kb hfsc queue { bulk, ack } queue ack bandwidth 20% priority 2 qlimit 500 hfsc (realtime 40Kb upperlimit 40Kb) queue bulk bandwidth 80% priority 1 qlimit 500 hfsc (realtime 120Kb upperlimit 120Kb default) But I still cannot accomplish what I need.
