I'd like to rate-limit get_iplayer so that other things on the same machine that are also talking to the internet don't run like stunned slugs in treacle.
Second, I'm not using Linux.
You don't say which non-Linux operating system you are using. Your description doesn't correspond with any version of Windows, 32 bit or 64 bit, I have used except maybe Windows 3.1. Here downloading HLSHD with get_iplayer at speeds up to 80Mbit/s on an elderly 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GByte of RAM in 64 bit Windows 10 Home and a 10/100 LAN card gave a CPU usage of between 20% and 52% and memory usage barely above background. How much RAM have you got?
