Checklist

  • This feature I'm requesting is already implemented in yt-dlp.
  • This feature is merely a UI/UX update.
  • This feature is suitable for primary users with little knowledge about yt-dlp.
  • This feature is available for most websites, not only the video platform I use.
  • This feature is suitable for a large variety of videos.
  • This feature is not going to conflict with many of the existing options.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is more a good neighbor feature than a major feature. But the ability to set the rate limit in the gui and avoid totally saturating connections would be nice.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option in the download settings menu to set a rate limit
