Is there any way I can configure (pass arguments to) emerge's "wget" (used for 
fetching) to limit it's rate to a certain amount
of KB/s?

I don't want to make a global/system-wide change, just for portage.

I did find a way to limit the bandwidth while syncing. All I had to do was to 
put this on my /etc/make.conf:

PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--partial --progress --delete-after --human-readable 
--bwlimit=50"

(for instance).

I do know there is parameter for wget, which is "--limitrate". Any way I could 
set this inside portage?

Regards,

Saffi
