I still don't get it.. You have small pipe. But a lot of people have bigger. So - if you can't use - do not use it. Why EVERYONE shouldn't use it?
it really is much more appropriate for everyone involved if you just use a shared cache, and respectably consider the truth that if you're not a seed, you're a leech. you say gnome=too much traffic, then wtf would you want to sync:
gnome + kde + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + ... + ...
every single time they are updated, when you're not even going to use it 90% of it? _that_ sounds like "too much traffic" to me.
use what you need; no more, no less. anything else is greedy and wasteful.

Word 'irony' says something to you? ;) Yes, people who sync kde or gnome do it pretty often(new releases common thing). Why don't we stop them? Because repository exist for downloading from it(unexpectadly, yeah?). I'm downloading about 25-30 packages every night(OH MY GOD SUCH A WASTE!!). Let's start again - do you REALLY think it's too wasteful? ;) --
