Not easily. Resumed downloads is just range requests requesting a
range of the requested object. Range requests is used in a number of
different conditions, not only resumed downloads.

You can disable Range request by HTTP anynymization to deny the Range
header, but this will also block any other uses of the range requests
such as the fast download of document index when viewing PDF files
and many other, always giving the client a full copy of the requested
resource.

You are most likely best off using delay pools to limit the bandwidth
usage per client. It should not really matter if a client has 1 or 20
connections, he should get about the same rate either way..
