Discover - possible to limit download speed? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I'm watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there's a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

Yeah as others have hinted at this is going to be easier with a router/network level feature.

I'm sure there's a way to do this by setting up a special virtual interface, limiting the bandwidth on that interface and then using iptables to redirect the apt traffic to that interface or something to that effect but I'm not a network engineer and I don't have the experience to help with something like that. There might also be a way to do this with cgroups to limit the bandwidth but again that's above my level of expertise.
