I see this as a problem that needs to be solved, but I will be blunt: somebody has to be interested in implementing it, and I am not sure anybody is. I think the right place to add a new setting is the network panel: you should be able to mark a particular connection as being bandwidth -limited. Then at the *very least* that should be used to turn off automatic checks for updates, since we get complaints about that from bandwidth-limited users quite frequently. I am not sure if we want to take the route of using the firewall to prevent applications from accessing the network; it seems reasonable since it would require toggling a hard-to-find setting, but some design work would be needed to make the prompts work well.
