Uploading wouldn't cause a noticeable slowdown for most internet uses, unless OP was also trying to upload something as well. Most ISPs offer a fraction of the upload speed as download and your average person still doesn't even notice a slowdown.

Same with anything using TCP because you need to send packets back.
