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).
