In many cases this is actually expected: Some of the SQM algorithms work by “penalizing” some packets and therefore signalling to the sender that it needs to slow down in order to get future packets through successfully.
Those red marks are kind of a “slap on the wrist” that keeps the sender in line.
P.s. Try downloading something that can send to you at 200MBps (and therefore saturate your connection) or something that can receive file uploads at 10Mbps, or do both at the same time and see what that does to the test results.

And a good SQM algorithm shouldn't be shooting down packets from a tool like this unless the configured bandwidth limits are really low, because this tool isn't really generating all that much traffic.
