wget: Rate limiting Downloads

Nifty little feature i've ran across recently in wget:

wget http://mysqltuner.pl/ --limit-rate=5K

Essentially what this will do is.

1) "Wget http://mysqltuner.pl/" get the contents of mysqltuner.pl website
2) "--limit-rate=5K" limit the download rate to 5K ( equivalent of 56K modem. )
