I have found host speed limits hard to manage in the past, because of the varying number of free accounts one is downloading from. A queue fairness approach (similar to operating systems) is probably much better. The idea is to make sure that each download gets the time to process at least N packets per second by periodically stopping the premium downloads until each other download has either caught up with the server or processed N packets.
I didnt mean to be pushy. I just meade my comment with reference to drbits comment.
