      What would be the best traffic shipping strategy for a 25 Mbs Download x 2 Mbs Upload DSL connection?

      The issue I have is that when the Download starts to increase, the very low Upload speed causes stalls and disconnections.

      I'm not looking for anything fancy, I simply want to smooth the connection out, so that everything continues to work - even if it slows down.

          you want to prioritise ack's. So put them higher priority, I think if I remember right the wizard will do this.
          The fq_codel limiter should also do this for you.

            The easier 80/20 rule to get decent results is setup FairQ on your upload and download, and set the default queue to use Codel.
