E.g. "throttle -1M" reads 1 MByte/sec.

If it's at the file layer, rsync has --bwlimit. For block layer, I tend to just ionice -c3 so that other processes get priority over it. I've never had to care about "overloading" the disk itself. For networks, I rely on current generations of OpenSSH setting the TOS of noninteraction connections to "I'm bulk traffic!", and routers' default qdisc (tc-pfifo_fast) to bucket it accordingly. BUT, for the latter two paragraphs, my results are not optimal :-)
