If you know that you want to limit the bandwidth when you start the program, "trickle" may work for you: scp -p netinst.iso other_host:DELETE_ME.1 netinst.iso 100% 191MB 2.9MB/s 01:06 and trickle -s -u 500 scp -p netinst.iso other_host:DELETE_ME.2 netinst.iso 100% 191MB 681.5KB/s 04:47 Or if you want a more complex solution, take a look at "wondershaper".
