limiting prefetch download speed

[christoph-k]

Pacoloco is very useful especially for people with limited bandwidth.
In case you want to install a new package you are probably fine with the download taking up all the bandwidth there is.
For prefetching though it would be really nice to limit the speed in order to prevent a congested connection.

Fully agree with you. Right now I am not aware of a way to limit network traffic, maybe with the download reimplementation (issue #7) it will be possible.
Right now as a workaround I may suggest you to do the prefetching when your network is not being actively used (e.g. at late night)

One option would be to use some rate-limiting library e.g. https://github.com/juju/ratelimit
