With HTTP you still send an ACK for every incoming packet. A friend of mine at university was the technically minded person at his fraternity, and he found that just the outgoing ACK:s were saturating the DSL line.
Media streaming might be done over UDP, depending on the protocol, which should alleviate this a bit.
