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.
