Why do we need this feature?

When I use ollama run llama3, my full network is occupied by this download task. But by the time I want to use my PC to visit other website, I can't even open any website.

What will be like:

the command-line api may be like this:

ollama run llama3 --speed=500

it represents that the downloading speed is limited to 500 KB/s.

This is a user configured speed, you can configure it to any value.

Please implement the change.
I have an optic internet and Ollama will download at the full speed of 120MB/s, and it would crash the optic modem after 1-2 minutes of downloading, then it will start over and crash the optic modem again and again.
