[Eug-lug] ftp package w/ "throttle control"

[Mr O]

WRT54GL with DD-WRT. You can rate limit by port & protocol. I
uplink to a 16 port switch for my personal stuff and leave it
unthrottled but take a dedicated port going to another room for
a different user and throttle it down to 1 Mbps max. He doesn't
know the difference as all he does is surf the net. I also block
bittorrent if I'm going to do some online gaming. Other user
hates that. 

rsync is great for just backing up the differences but it seems
you want two tasks. Backup/upload and speed regulate if
neccessary. 

That be all,
Mr O.
