I read lartc but I don't feel I need such a complicated solution for simple needs. One of such simple use cases is to limit a specific process' available bandwidth, upstream or downstream. How can I run wget or firefox constrained to 50 kb/s download speed without using iptaables and qdiscs?

Wget has built in bandwidth control with the --limit-rate option. Shorewall also offers a nicer interface to traffic shaping, as does wondershaper.

Couldn't you use Squid-Cache as your local proxy and have that software manage the limiting/shaping? Any Squid gurus out there?
