Is there a way to limit the bandwidth that it uses?
Yep.
Per the manpage:
net:limit-rate (bytes per second)
limit transfer rate on data connection. 0 means unlimited. You
can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and
upload rate separately.
net:limit-max (bytes)
limit accumulating of unused limit-rate. 0 means twice of limit-
rate.
net:limit-total-rate (bytes per second)
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlim-
ited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit
download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have
receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load
higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You
can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to
avoid this.
net:limit-total-max (bytes)
limit accumulating of unused limit-total-rate. 0 means twice of
limit-total-rate.
