That's how things work when uploading at max speed - it limits download as well, because downloading process also needs some of the upload bandwidth for sending requests, acknowledgments etc. The best you can do is limit upload speed - even 99% would probably allow enough for download to work normally, but reduce it to 95% or 90% if that's still not enough. Just don't use ALL of the upload bandwidth at 100%. There are various free utilities for limiting up/down bandwidth, you can choose any you like.
