you may know this already, but there are man pages for the vsftpd.conf file (i.e. #man vsftpd.conf ).
For greater control, e.g. limiting access, you may have to run the vsftpd server in standalone (without inetd) mode. I believe you control this through the vsftpd.conf file, specifically the "listen=YES" parameter. .
And then look for parameters like anon_max_rate, local_max_rate, max_clients, max_per_ip.
Sorry, I don't have any ideas about the large file transfer issue, but if you run vsftpd in standalone mode, at least you will have eliminated a variable (inetd).

I have an ftp server with several accounts and I have a special account where I can upload files. I can make folders, I can upload small files and I can upload folders with small files in them but when I try to upload bigger files, say the size of an mp3 it gives me an error (connection reset by server).
I have the data connection time out set high data_connection_timeout=666666
And the idle time set just as high. I'm not sure what the problem is, at first I thought it may have been a permission problem but if that was the case then I wouldn't be able to upload the small files. If anyone has any clue as to why I am having this problem please let me know.
Oh and I was also wondering how to restrict the number of vsftpd process can run at one time. I had a recent problem with a user logging in hundreds of times causing my server to grind to a halt. Vsftpd is run though inetd and I didn't see any option for it in the vsftpd.conf file or the inetd conf file.
