Re: Bug#240417: /usr/bin/apt-get: Request for feature: download rate limit option

[Stephen Pinker]

Sorry, I know the original thread for this is pretty old, but this is 
all new to me. Here's a link I found. Personally, I think this is better 
than putting throttling directly inside of apt. Hopefully it can help 
someone.
