Well I just might :)

As suggested in the top of grabber.py, I'll implement throttle as a
percentage value when used a fraction of bandwidth and make data rate
values for bandwidth and throttle fairly friendly (eg. "10KBs", "50kbps"
"10bs").

Any objections?

I may just leave these out of the yum.conf man page for now until they
get implemented.

Noted.
