Cool, that helps with rsync. I guess I should modify my question to
say can I limit bandwidth usage of a general application?

Sorry if this is an obvious question. I googled for a solution, but
nothing seemed to stand out that wasn't a programming solution.
I want to do some downloading without consuming all my DSL
bandwidth. Is there a way to control the amount of bandwidth an
application like rsync (and all its children) can consume? I share
my network with other computers, so I can't just use nice to control
usage.
Thanks for the help

run "man rsync" from a shell and discover what the --bwlimit option does.
