Feature request: Add bandwidth limiting for downloads
Problem
The Kaggle CLI can download very large datasets, but there is currently no way to limit download speed.
For example:
kaggle datasets download -d username/datasetProposed solution
Add an option similar to tools like aria2/curl:
kaggle datasets download \
-d owner/dataset \
--max-download-rate 350KSource: Kaggle/kaggle-cli
