       Description: 
       
       If for some reason you need to reduce the download speed of emerge
       when downloading sources you can use a tweak in portage's make.conf as
       explained
       [in the
       handbook](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Portage/Variables#F
       etch_commands).
       
       To keep wget and just add the bandwidth limit, add this to
       **/etc/portage/make.conf**:
       
           FETCHCOMMAND="${FETCHCOMMAND} --limit-rate=200k"
