This is kinda cool.  But there doesn't seem to be such a feature in 
the FTP daemon.  I would be really nice to limit all uploads on the 
FTP server to, let's say 25KB/sec, without using ALTQ or something 
similar.  Maybe something in /etc/ftpd.conf that controls at how much 
bandwidth the FTP server uploads.  Is this already implemented?  If 
not, wouldn't this be a good idea?
