Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

I think that it could be useful that apt-get have option of limiting
download rate (as wget), because many people have not firewall or QoS in
their computer (or they don't know what do that).

Perhaps a good thing too for people that programm that apt-get runs
periodically and want to have a minimum broadband for other processes
(and no have QoS).

It easy the life of users (overall end-users).

With much hopes and thanks,
Xan.

Anyway, closing the bug.
