Default DLink QoS Engine Tweaking

Hello, I've been using DLink DIR-625 N-draft router for a while now and I've always kept my QoS engine on using their automatic settings. Although this is very good for download while gaming, it has prioritized my web surfing to the lowest (or at least it seems like it). I'm getting huge issues surfing the web while downloading (eg: BT). Loading a webpage (even google.com) take about a minute and in some cases, it totally times out. I'm just wondering if anyone has a good solution to this or if they know any site that has a guide on how to tweak the QoS engine. I want to tweak it manually but all the settings are getting me confused. Thanks in advance.

If you are downloading with a bittorrent cilent than it's not the router it's the cilent.
Set the client to use only 75% of your bandwidth.

actually i had a similar issue with the same router, and when i first started using utorrent, i did not set up proper port forwarding to my computer. Everything was really slow not only for me, but also for the rest of the people on the network. So then I set the router to forward the port to my system, and then it worked fast again. I can even play games with good ping while using BT now.
Hope this helps!!
