For upload or download (or both)? You could work around this with
NTFS permissions and a bit of scripting if you desperately needed it.

You mean by size? Quantity? Bandwidth? You can limit the size of a
user's folder using quotas, but not individual up/download limits.
And as far as most of the Microsoft target audience for the FTP
