The correct name for what you want to do is called bandwidth shaping.
I don't have any experiences in setting it up, but if you do a quick
search on freshmeat you'll pull up two programs (ip_relay and rshaper)
which might be of some use to you. The only time I've used bandwidth
shaping in the past is by using lftp with the config option of
"net:limit-rate 2048" which would limit the download rate to 2K a
second.
