It looks like you've already found a solution for your BitTorrent client, but I thought I'd mention a handy little tool I use quite a bit. It's called trickle[0] and for a very simple case you use it like so: # trickle -d 10 -- apt-get dist-upgrade ...where '-d 10' will limit the maximum download speed apt-get can attain to 10kB/s. trickle can be used with almost any dynamically linked binary.
