What kind of bandwidth limiting? 5GB per month? or bandwidth limiting for certain program, ie: webbrowser onl 5kB/sec?

for programs, control the bandwith usage of different programs

Most programs that can benefit the limiting of their bandwidth already provide that functionality.
What program are you talking about and how do you want to limit its bandwidth?

This is a possible idea but does take a bit of reading. If you installed a HTB qdisc then you can control the bandwidth per port or ip for source or destination. Try looking at

and read up on queueing theory on

It is a bit advanced but there is a lot of documentation available and that script (1st link ) makes it very easy to do
