in reply to Background downloading service

I know for FTP downloads, you can use Net::FTP::Throttle which is a subclass of Net::FTP to throttle your FTP connections.

To implement curl in perl, I know you can use WWW::Curl although I don't believe that the PM can do any bandwidth adjustment (even at the beginning).

    Thanks for that information, it's a shame there's no Net::HTTP::Throttle.
