i queue the incoming downstream on the outbound-towards-my-LAN side.

works just as good as it possibly could if pf had a "download" queue
mechanism, if not better.

if you are in a colo situation and you can't afford a little soekris
( or somethin' ) to drop in between and do this -- well... kudos
on finding so inexpensive a colo that you can afford that but not
a little 1 time ~250 USD or so for the investment on soekris/whatever
