Oh yeah, FTP has a build-in function for bandwidth limiting.  For 
example if you want people to send and receive
files at 50KB/sec you'd put something like:

rateget all   50k
rateput all   50k

in your /etc/ftpd.conf file.  You can also replace "all" with "guest" 
for anonymous logins etc.  The man page for ftpd.conf
explains it all.
