No conversion is needed, the self.yumbase.conf is a special class with 
getter & setter to set differnt kind of option of different speciel type
The class does the convertion.
self.yumbase.conf.throttle is a special throttle option there take a lot 
of differnt values and parse them into something urlgrabber understands.
See details here (trottle option).
http://devel.linux.duke.edu/gitweb/?p=yum.git;a=blob;f=yum/config.py

So the

self.yumbase.conf.throttle = "40%" 

should work right.

the repos inherit the throttle from self.yumbase.conf.throttle, so there 
should be no need to specify it on each repo object, if we just set the 
base throttle before the repos is initialized.
