Description
## Feature request: Add bandwidth limiting for downloads
### Problem
The Kaggle CLI can download very large datasets, but there is currently no way to limit download speed.
For example:
```bash
kaggle datasets download -d username/dataset
```
### Proposed solution
Add an option similar to tools like aria2/curl:
```bash
kaggle datasets download \
-d owner/dataset \
--max-download-rate 350K
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the implementation of the `kaggle datasets download` command and trace how it handles dataset transfers. Check how command-line options are defined and how download behavior is tested, then add the proposed `--max-download-rate` behavior so the example command can constrain bandwidth and existing downloads remain unaffected.
