I use torrentflux. It's a fancy GUI front end, which runs under Apache.

It does not have schedule based bandwidth, but it does have a scheduler.

You set a maximum number of torrents and it queues the rest.

I prefer to download the things I can from a local mirror. At 3am,
I get 400k bytes per second, I have never seen more than 160 on a
torrent. 

In my case, longevity and error recovery are far more important than
speed. I often download things that take as long as 20 days.
