I wrote a patch to fetch awhile back that does exactly this. That was
with 4.x, but it might apply cleanly in 6. I ended up not using it, well
cause once I had everything installed it didn't seem to matter so much.

Basically it adds a "-L" option that takes the b/s to throttle it at...
Then tweak um.. FETCH_ARGS or something close to that (man ports for info)
to get the ports to pick it up automatically.
