Bug Description

Binary package hint: trickle

trickle isn't great, but it does offer some throttling. Unfortunately if I enter a fractional speed (-d 0.25 for example), trickle ignores this and downloads at full speed. At work I am often stuck in the middle of nowhere with a less-than-brilliant phone signal which I have to use for an Internet connection, so throttling certain apps as low as 0.25 KB/s would be very beneficial.
