<B>OVERVIEW</B>
  Particularly when used with the -m (multi-threading) option, gsutil can
  consume a significant amount of network bandwidth. In some cases this can
  cause problems, for example if you start a large rsync operation over a
  network link that's also used by a number of other important jobs.

  While gsutil has no built-in support for throttling requests, there are
  various tools available on Linux and MacOS that can be used to throttle
  gsutil requests.

  One tool is `trickle<http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle>`_
  (available via apt-get on Ubuntu systems), which will let you limit how much
  bandwidth gsutil consumes. For example, the following command would limit
  upload and download bandwidth consumed by gsutil rsync to 100 KBps:

      trickle -d 100 -u 100 gsutil -m rsync -r ./dir gs://some bucket

  Another tool is
  `ionice<http://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix_commands/ionice.htm>`_ (built
  in to many Linux systems), which will let you limit how much I/O capacity
  gsutil consumes (e.g., to avoid letting it monopolize your local disk). For
  example, the following command would reduce I/O priority of gsutil so it
  doesn't monopolize your local disk:

      ionice -c 2 -n 7 gsutil -m rsync -r ./dir gs://some bucket
