Information
  By default, Vista reserves 20 percent of the connection bandwidth for QoS traffic handled by the QoS Packet Scheduler. The reserved bandwidth is still available to all programs though unless a program, for example Windows Update, specifically requests priority bandwidth. Vista will then restrict the best effort traffic to 80 percent of the bandwidth to the other programs so that high priority traffic, for example Windows Update, can be accommodated. This will show you how to change the percentage of reserved bandwidth, or disable the reserved bandwidth to get back the full bandwidth so that everything will share all of the available bandwith all of the time.
However, I will update the tutorial to help clarify it even more.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention,
