When I started Fedora Legacy, I was running the master mirror server
from my main hosting system.  Needless to say I experiences a massive
bandwidth suckage.  I tried using mod_throttle, but found it not all
that reliable (this was apache 1.4 stuff in RHL 7.3).  Maybe it was
because I was dealing with a lot of small files, namely rpm header files
and stuff.  The file were too small to really engage mod_throttle, but
with so many people connecting my bandwidth was still being used quite
heavily.  I also tried setting folder limits and connection limits, but
it really didn't work all that well.  Maybe with streams and more
consistent connections throttle will work well.
