It's the nature of TCP, I'm afraid, feel free to write your own control protocol.

To cut a long and boring story short, when you're transferring data in one direction it always sends some data back in the other direction. This happens on cable, DSL, Ethernet or any other medium that supports TCP/IP. This data takes capacity from the total available in the opposite direction.
