This should be easy to solve for static content. Just have a proxy that does
repeated partial transfers. The HTTP protocol allows resuming a file
part-way through, so when it goes slow you can just drop the connection and
start a new one where the previous one finished.
The problem is that this isn't going to work for dynamic content (CGI-BIN
scripts etc).
