How can I limit download/upload speed within my application?

I want to limit the bandwidth of all downloads and uploads to be performed in the application.

The reason is that the application runs code not written by me. I don't want some malicious code to over use the network resource.

Here is a link on SO that covers a similar question:
How can I rate limit an upload using TcpClient?

In a nutshell, you need to detect the bandwidth of the connected socket and then sleep overly fast connections.

Here is a link to a CodeProject source that makes use of throttling techniques:
