Well, there are two things:

- if the site has bandwidth limitations, that is, is not 
allowing to let you download with a too high transfer rate: 
this is easy, as httrack lets you define the maximum 
transfer rate (see Set Options / Limits)

- if the site has connection limitations, that is, you 
can't download using too many simultaneous connections: see 
also in the options to define 1 simultanesous connection

- if the site has both limits: mix both settings in 
httrack, that's all

- if the site has global limits ; that is, designed to 
prevent offline browsers from downloading anything, then 
there are no solution: the site webmaster does not want you 
to download large parts of its site, and you have no 
solutions to bypass that

Setup scan rules (filters), such as

and

Assuming images are at least 10KB, that is, 50MB/hour, 
using bandwidth limit such as 10KB/s
would be sufficient to limit the speed.
