Package: apt
Version: 0.5.24
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/apt-get



-- Package-specific info:
I was unable to find out whether there is a native way to limit the
download rate for apt-get, something like wget --limit-rate=amount.

Am I missing something, or could it be a feature added in some next
release? I' d find it very useful, both for "nice" upgrades during
generic browsing on a dialup connection and for a more polite usage of
the bandwidth available in some well connected but multi user LAN.

Thanks!

This option was working at least in apt 0.7.14.
Anyway, closing the bug.
