Bandwidth control?

Hi, I just popped up to Fedora 9 (I know, 10 is next week, but I didn't want to go straight from 8 to 10) and am fleshing out the package list with this and that. I have to do this at home, where my wife is also working on her bandwidth-hungry EMR. Is there any way to "throttle down" the bandwidth consumed by yum to a not-more-than-X, so that neither of us is starved when the other is working? This would also be useful on that first yum update. Speaking of which, I thought that the plan was for Fedora to start using the updated rpms to do the first round install so that it didn't HAVE to do a huge update right after the installation, but that didn't happen with 9. Will it happen with 10? (I know this isn't a fedora-only list, but I also know that yum is supposedly the basis for future fedora installs, in part to avoid this pointless double-suck of bandwidth and time). rgb Robert G.
