    Thanks for the tip. I will look into it. My use case would be to limit download speed for applications that do not have such a setting (such as Firefox, just an example).

      such as Firefox

      You can use the cliget extension which generates full CLI commands for major CLI tools. Such tools have many options (e.g. curl’s --rate-limit).

        Firefox was just one example of tool that doesn’t provide a limit by itself. I’m looking for a solution that could be applied to any program.
