I use Trickle to simulate slow connections. For example, to test how
would FlameRobin work with remote Firebird server over a modem line, I
use something like

trickle -d 3 -u 3 flamerobin

where -d 3 and -u 3 means: limit download and upload to 3kB/sec.

Trickle is a tool for Linux. I believe you can use NetLimiter on Windows
to do the same.
