If you want to limit bandwidth with a squid proxy server, you can use the
delay pools feature of squid. Delay pools allows you to limit for example
the bandwidth usage after it has downloaded e.g the first 64kbytes of a file
or whatever value you set. However it is only useful for requests using the
squid proxy server.
