Yes. And no :). By doing that you can limit the bandwidth used by people who access *your* ftp, but you can't control which ephemeral port will bew chosen by a *remote* ftpd (ie, ftp.freebsd.org) because that is daemon/OS dependant. The best solution I've found is to install a dedicated proxy server for FTP/HTTP and then limit the traffic for that proxy server. But you need an extra machine for that.
