There's trickle, a userspace bandwidth limiter:

http://www.monkey.org/~marius/trickle/

An interesting program if nothing else :)

I used it on my dialup, and it can work for that purpose, not that
I was perfectly happy with it.. but at least you can setup an ftp
or such and still do other stuff.

lftp btw has built-in bandwidth limiting.  Use 'set -a' command in
lftp to see all the settings.. I think it's 'net:limit-max'.

Unfortunately I don't know of any kernel side stuff that would help
you.

Hope that helps,
