And thats your ceiling on your mldonkey HTB.

Please do a 'tc -s class show dev $YOURDEV' and post your results. You
will see, that your mldonkey-traffic goes only to one of your two
classes. My mldonkey gets marked only one way... there are simply no
SYN/ACK/FIN/RST NONE packets from mldonkey.

Full ACK. But since the devs already said something in the line of
'much work' and 'effecting most parts of mldonkey' i don't expect
something new in mldonkeys traffic control soon. Too bad I don't speak
ocaml. Should be enough if i know, mldonkey will send all uploaddata to
someone else from port $UPPORT and all other from a different port.
