Thanks. Just read it in the man pages. Didn't notice the --bwlimit option.

This option is most effective when using rsync with large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified limit. A value of zero specifies no limit. actual real limiting you will need something else, you could add the information to your firewall setting if you have one.
