Whether you're uploading on P2P is irrelevant. When downloading from *any* TCP source (not UDP) your computer will send acknowledgment packets back to the source server, essentially saying "I've got that packet of data, send me the next one".

1.5Mb up is not enough to support 50Mb down. You will max out your upstream bandwidth before you get to 50Mb down, so the 50Mb connection is meaningless; in all likelihood you'll never achieve it.
