It's not so much the size of the acks, but any delay to them that has a serious effect on the data connection. While the far end is waiting for an ack, the throughput is effectively zero. As Ig says, throttle any high-usage upstream applications if you want to see downloads near maximum while using upstream - it's what I do (and Ig, when downloading his donkey-and-nun videos).
