No firewalling.

(I am sure yes with linux)

Humm, interesting. I suspect reducing a transfer rate would be related to firewall settings, but you said no firewall.

Looking at the kill and signal man pages, I found signals SIGSTOP and SIGCONT. I've never tried them, but might be able to temporary stop the application process, then continue it to get the affect of zero traffic?

You can use a queuing discipline such as HTB or CBQ. Most modern distributions have the iproute2 package installed. Refer to the LARTC HOWTO in order to understand how to use it.
