Allowing capping downloading speed in MB/s or kB/s

[zeroz41]

Problem description

Unless i'm missing it i don't see this as a feature. Steam allows this. If i have slow internet and the client always tries to download at max speed this is a big negative to me.

Feature description

Allowing capping downloading speed in MB/s or kB/s. Put a field in settings that allows a limit if entered, or uncapped max if not entered.

We can't really do this unless the tools we use in the background actually implement the speed limiter.

Heroic itself does not download things, it's either legendary, gogdl, or nile. Steam and other launchers support that feature because the launcher itself is downloading the games, which is not the same case as Heroic that uses other tools in the background.

I tried a few times using https://github.com/mariusae/trickle to wrap the calls but it just never worked.
