You can do some packet prioritization, especially for ACK.  Try those links, 
they explain much:

Using pf: http://www.benzedrine.cx/ackpri.html
Using IPFW: http://www.topfx.com/prioritizingackfreebsd.shtml

In my tests, downloading a file from the web space my ISP gives me, I found 
that it helps a lot.  Using bittorrent, it did not change much.  As always, 
with those kind of sharing, I think the main problem is leechers.
