There is some software, like net limiter, that can do that : http://www.netlimiter.com/

I guess they are some other (free) bandwidth shaper around, and you know how it's called now :)

If you have access to your router, you can reserve internet speed for yourself. Look up "QoS" or "Quality of Service". You should be able to set your traffic priority or do the reserve speed thing.

Quant is quite correct. If you go this route, please let me know how well it works. Ive read about the theory but not practice. QoS is your answer.
