adsl and peer-to-peer performance issue

[Dave Stevens]

Once in a while I use aMule to d/l files. I'm on an ADSL line that  
delivers about 2mbps down and about 600kbps up. When I have the  
peer-to-peer program running I get very poor performance in other  
internet applications even though aMule is showing very little  
bandwidth used. Is this a config issue? or built into some protocol?

Ubuntu 14.04.1
