Download at a defined speed.

[Cat]

When I download a file from internet, using whether WebRequest or
WebClient, it is downloaded at the maximum line speed. But I would like
to let the users decide the maximum download speed just like eMule(you
know eMule, don't you?) does. How can I do this?

Plus, is it possible to be notified when the system gets connected to
the internet or disconnected from the internet? Should I use Windows
API or is there a .NET way? Thank you.

Thank you David;

But using the method you taught me, I have to check it continously (at
a time interval). I just want to be NOTIFIED when the connection is
lost. Isn't there any other way?
