I've personally never heard of a way to do that without pretty costly software, but you might be able to set up one pc for a higher priority somewhere in your router's configuration which will give the pc with the highest priority the most bandwidth when simotaneously trying to download.

To apportion bandwidth you will need either
an expensive router like CISCO or a LINUX
computer set up as a router with software to
implement QOS (quality of service).

Something similar, win XP in local group policies has the function to set how much the PC draw for connections.
