          In firewall/traffic shaper /limiter section in ur web-guy create 2 pipe with the speed u need to limit. in mask field use "destination" for both pipe.

          now in firewall/rules/lan section create a rule with following

          action–------pass
          interface ------lan
          protocol-------any(to shape all kinds of traffic)
          source-------------(single host or alias)  ip address u want to shape
          destination----------any

          now in advance features ------in/out tab click on "advance" & select 1 pipe for in field & other for out. dont use same pipe for both.

          now save & apply change.

          now in firewall/rules page put this rule to above the default rule. done for 1 ip.

          you may confused about the mask of pipes as they are both destination. dont worry they will work.
