I use lukemftpd (aka tnftpd aka "The NetBSD ftpd" which is available for other operating systems like Linux). It can easily be configured for transfer rate throttling (for get/RETR and put/STORE) and limit concurrent connections by user (or class of users). I don't think lukemftpd has a configuration to ban if connecting to often (and probably not needed if transfer rate throttling and concurrent connections limiting is used). Jeremy C.
