The support for http rate limit is documented in
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configuration-index.gz. I guess a entry to
the man-page would be good as well. Patches against the xml file are
very welcome!
$ apt-get update -o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=7
should limit the download rate to 7kb per second. Currently this is
only supported for http, but ftp shouldn't be too hard to add.
Cheers,
Michael
