If your web server is Apache, you could use mod_throttle, otherwise a look at merlyn's Slow down the download! could help.

    If I am using a web host, could I install mod_throttle on my own directory? Or is that specifically for root?

      If mod_throttle is not already installed, then no, you can't use it. That's where you turn to the second link I gave above ;--)

    There's also mod_bwshare, though I haven't used it myself.
