Is it possible to limit the php curl speed?

As I know there are no parameters in libcurl for limit download speed. You can use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT option to set up the aximum number of seconds to allow cURL functions to execute. For limit download speed you can use sockets function in PHP.

Run it in a timed loop.. fetching fragments each time.. count the fragments and size validate against passed time, wait the amount of time left in that second.. This is how most people do it in other languages.. Will work in sockets.. not sure about cUrl
