[Bug-wget] Feature Request

[Harvey Pwca]

Sir/Madam;

I have an idea for a new wget option.

Allow the user to specify a download speed for the item(s) being 
retrieved. The speed could be set in Bytes (B), Kilobytes (K), or 
Megabytes (M) depending upon the bandwidth available to the user.

While it is possible to make wget become "aware" of the bandwidth 
available —and what is being used by other applications— I think this 
would not be a good idea since it removes from the user the ability to 
prioritize their applications usage of the bandwidth. Just allow the 
user to state what bandwidth wget should use.

Thank you.
