Each "altq on" statement only covers outgoing traffic on that interface, not
incoming. Downloads don't generate much upload traffic (230KByte/s
generates around 1KByte/s of upload here), so probably aren't getting hit.

You need to do your queueing on multiple interfaces on a firewall, one for
traffic going to the ISP, and one for traffic going to your local network.
