Throttling traffic through an ASA 5510

Question:

Although this is not a WS-C3560X-48T-S Price common issue, we have experienced occasions where our internet utilization has been maxed out (slowing everyone else down).

Utilizing some features in the ASA, such as Top Useage Stats, along with PRTG monitoring,  have always tracked the culprit down to being a single user -- be it someone downloading movies to a portable device, or downloading ISO's.   (And for some strange reason it seems to always be a wireless user.)  We are using an ASA 5510 for our firewall, and I was wondering if its possible to prevent a single client from consuming a disproportionally large percentage of our internet bandwidth?

If the ASA 5510 doesn't have the ability to do this on it's own, are there any recommendations for add-on solutions?
