 It would be nice to be able to throttle individual connections. For
 example, if I have to upload 100M+ of stuff, I'd like to throttle this so
 that it doesn't hog all of the office's outgoing bandwidth. This
 capability is present in rsync, and via solutions like trickle, but it
 would be nice to see it in Cyberduck.

 I'm not sure what the best interface would be for this feature, but it
 should have a visible indicator so that people don't turn it on and then
 wonder why things are slow. Perhaps a "Throttle" or "Speed Limit" item in
 the Action pulldown, producing a dialog with boxes for maxiumum upstream
 and downstream consumption. These values could then be displayed in the
 status bar, perhaps in red.

 I suggest it as a per-connection feature for two reasons: 1) A global
 option would probably generate bogus bug reports from users who set it and
 then forgot about it; 2) I may have one mammoth upload (or download) that
 I want to perform while still getting good performance on other, smaller
 transfers to and from other servers.
