How do I? .. Bandwidth throttling during emerge -f

Is there anyway to limit the bandwidth utilization during a fetch?

I didn't find anything in the wget doc's, so it's unlikely, but I thought I'd open the question up.

This function would be helpful for those of us discretely downloading at work, we still need to perform other tasks online.

Thanks, Mike

Well, if wget doesn't support throttling (which I don't think it does), you could use another download agent and specify it in your /etc/make.globals. Or, you could use iptables for throttling (I think...), which would be another solution.
