Suggested feature, transfer speed cap

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think giver should have a transfer speed cap.  When I transfer a file, it
uses up all the bandwidth over my network and causes my other filesharing
to stall.  I can't use giver with other applications like
transmission(torrents), because giver will use all my bandwidth.

Here's some code I put together for this.

The transfer rate is throttled by specifying the rate in b/s. Example: 51200 b/s

I also added the option to the PreferencesDialog and the setting is stored in 
the
configuration file.

The attached zip is a diff of the changed files and of the new class file.

Jared, if you `svn add` the new file, the output of `svn diff` will contain the 
new 
file contents, and you can simply attach a plain text diff file.

Also, these appear to be reverse patches.  I guess they were made with `diff` 
instead 
of `svn diff`, and the arguments were reversed?

Patches made with `svn diff` are a lot easier to review.

Like this?

The svn diff attached has some other changes that I made to the project for me. 
I can
try to clean it up if it's to awkward or unusable.

Yup, that's better.  Will review when I get a chance.
