Subject: Rate limiter does not seem to work with DSL

Thanks for your work on this program.

I'm trying to make use of the bandwidth limiter (-An 
option where n = # KB/sec).  I've got a DSL 
connection, and it seems that this function does not 
have any effect on the transfer rate ... it always 
happens at full speed.  I've tried downloading about 
2MB worth of data, but it happens quickly regardless 
of what value I use (examples -A1000 or -A2 or -
A10000).

Example of how I'm using it:
httrack A200 -g filename -O directory 

I've also tried -A200. I've also tried it at the end 
of the command sequence such as 
httrack -g filename -O directory -A200

Is there some reason that this function should not 
work with DSL?  Does the -A option just make the 
software active for some time and inactive for some 
time?  Is the assumption that the user is on dial up?
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.  Thanks!
