If you have a broader set of needs, or (gasp) don't use Firefox, I might suggest you do this at the level of your router. This can be done using alternative firmware packages for your router. Many are available, but a good place to get started might be an article at Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/344765/turn-your-60-router-into-a-user+friendly-super+router-with-tomato By doing this, you do not have to install anything (so it is not specific to a given computer), it is not specific to any particular program (Firefox or IE), and you have even greater control and more options over how your connection behaves. I do want to emphasize that Firefox Throttle sounds great though. I'm just suggesting another option. This certainly sounds like it would work well for a specific user.
