*curious*

Can not your server place bandwidth caps per ip address of the
request originator?

Presumably such tools are fair game in instances where the
person running it has a lower downlink bandwidth
than the uplink bandwidth of the server they are
speaking to, and at the end of the day you do not have anything
against anyone accessing all the files in your archive, as long
as they are not hogging the line as such?
