Please have a look at the last few entries in #14687. There is some experimental support for this (via Acquire::http::DlLimit) in the http method in the apt--bwlimit--0 baz branch. Please help testing this branch (and let me know if you need help building it) so that it can be merged with apt--main at some point. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.
