Any way to set a priority for a process' access to the NIC? E.g. i'd like a download to give way to other processes requiring NIC access

You cannot control the bandwidth of processes that do not have the bandwidth throttling built in like Bear share for example.
What application are you trying to throttle? That would be a big help.

wget
Ok it's wget, a command line process that downloads files.. How big is the file you are downloading? Your best bet as I said above is to just give it realtime or focus on a router. You may already have a router if you have an xDSL connection or some broadband connections, otherwise, you got buckleys chance of throttling a HTTP download using it.
You can however, use applications like Download Accelerator and others to download large files.

Ok, here's what you can do to help clear the air.
Kill all unnecessary processes like outlook and anything else that has access to the net, then.. wait for your download to finish and reboot your machine.
If you get a prompt for killing the wrong process and you get a shutdown warning, quickly type shutdown -a in the run line. That's the best you can do, since you already started it with wget.
