As for how apt grabs most of the bandwidth, I don't know -- how to fix it, I
have one suggestion -- the tcp/ip traffic shapers of the 2.2.x kernels. I
don't know whether they work or not, or if they will go with ppp
connections, or if it will help a system that gets 3kps tops -- but it is an
idea. :)
The traffic shapers (from all that I know in the make menuconfig help..)
should allow you to limit bandwidth usage perhost -- probably not per
command.
<shrug> there it is. :)
