Perfectly possible. Keep the files in a protected area, create an array
with locations and call a php script with an array index to get the
file. Read the file in a buffer (eg 4k) and sleep 1 sec, my simple logic
says that the browser will get a max transfer of 4kb/s in this example:
$fp=fopen($file,'r')
while(!feof($fp))
{
echo fgets($fp,4096);
sleep(1);
}
fclose($fp);
BTW don't forget to set an appropriate mimetype, and do extensive
errorcatching.
