Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Is there a to limit the speed a user can download a file? Preferably I would like to set different limits based on a user role, "premium" users would have faster download speeds. Can someone help point me in the right direction, I have searched but not found a solution.

Both use file_transfer(), which freads() the file piece by piece.
You would need to override that url via hook_menu_alter(), then call your own copy of file_transfer() that does a sleep() after every fread().
