Usually a combination of dropped packets (packet loss somewhere on the device-to-server link) and/or latency:

The packet loss may be due to a little congestion or other factors.

The BQM will be fine at low levels of congestion, where people can almost max out their connection using multiple threads.

Not sure what you mean in the context of downloads?
Try this FTP speed test:
ftp://speedtest.tele2.net/
I was using the 1000GB file and could max out my connection now. Lets see what it's like during the day/evening.
