limiting speed by using sleep in your script is a very bad idea. for a
350 MB file, with a 20 KB/s limit the script would take aprox. 5 hours.
you can see how this is totally wrong. even skyrocketing the timeout,
it's not a good solution.
Use a web server mod for dynamic bandwidth limiting. See
http://www.topology.org/src/bwshare/README.html, maybe it will help you.

Hello!
For my application I need to limit the speed that my application
sends data, in my case a binary file.
I need to send the speed as a parameter, like:
sendfile.php?speed=20000
Would send the file at 20kb/s (forgetting about real byte counts for
this example).
To send the file, I am doing:
$fp=fopen($this->contentfile,"rb");
while(!feof($fp)){
print(fread($fp,1024*8));
flush();
ob_flush();
}
fclose($fp);
If after ob_flush I do a sleep(), I can limit the speed, but I would
like to limit at the speed of the parameter.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Rangel
on average, how big are the files that you will be sending?
