First of all, What leads you to think is a DoS?  Why would anyone bother 
doing so to your webserver?  I'm inclined to think like Daniel Pitts, that 
it may just be a multi-threaded Download Manager someone is using.  If so, 
yes, throttling the bandwidth per IP will do the trick.

Dann:

    There is no doubt its a pointed attack on me alone that is long term 
(about a year), and its (probably) because that I provide free downloads 
where the attacker has a money-motive for discouraging me from my activity 
because he makes money selling a package which includes these downloads
