[gopher] Throttling gopher daemon is desirable

[dave at 661.org]

I figure there hasn't been much call for throttling functionality for 
gopher daemons.  Today it would have been much appreciated.  Could I 
convince someone to add a throttle to pygopherd?  I lack the savvy with 
Python to do it myself.  And now, here's why I bring this up.

Over a three day period spanning June 16, 17, and 18 of 2013 (UTC), 
someone attempted and probably suceeded in downloading the entirety of the 
Interactive Fiction Archive from gopher.feedle.net.  This caused a massive 
spike in outbound network traffic that has probably cost some money.  I'm 
not sure yet how much.  We have the logs and are looking into tracking 
down who did it.  I'll probably post snippets of the logs later.
