I've just been told that apt itself now has a builtin mechanism via a config option for this, Acquire::http::Dl-Limit .
Since cron-apt seems to do a very similar thing, I think at the moment a good idea would be to simply add a sample APTCOMMAND line directly below the standard ones in /etc/cron-apt/config, e.g. something like: # APTCOMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get # more elaborate sample (bandwidth limiting to 25kB/s, does foo and bar): APTCOMMAND="/usr/bin/apt-get -o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=25 -o foo=1" APT config options don't seem to be too visible, thus a little bit more exposure of useful settings would be nice.
