[p2p-hackers] Control network file transfer rate

[Michael Parker]

IIRC, a long time ago while looking through the Azureus source code I 
saw a token bucket implementation to control the upload rate. See here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket

Although if you're just interested in ready-to-use source code, the 
previous replies are much more helpful :)
