Description

I accidentally caused an outage last night due to running gsutil -m cp [...] and consuming all available bandwidth on my network uplink, squeezing out higher importance traffic. There appears to be no mechanism for throttling gsutil short of running an HTTP proxy that throttles requests.

Would there be any objections to my implementing a throttling option?
