I failed to consider that you may be using FTP and/or rsync too ;) 
Implement something with `tc` to QoS the traffic to a certain rate, and 
that'll also allow you to handle small/short bursts.

Long-term I consider "Mirror is a little slow for big transfers" better 
than "Mirror only works for 10 days of each month, then returns errors."
