I quite often use some realaudio application that uses some bandwidth and I want to avoid other traffic to scale that bandwidth down. So I used some classes (with htb) on imq0 device and applied some filters and it seems to work in most cases. However, there are some sites with which download is interrupted if bandwidth is limited. I tried to trace it down and did some simple test:

Hard to tell without seeing any data. Can you capture the session with 
tcpdump and put it online somewhere (or send it via email off-list) ?
