1 Long: limit-rate 2 Arg: <speed> 3 Help: Limit transfer speed to RATE 4 --- 5 Specify the maximum transfer rate you want curl to use - for both downloads 6 and uploads. This feature is useful if you have a limited pipe and you'd like 7 your transfer not to use your entire bandwidth. To make it slower than it 8 otherwise would be. 9 10 The given speed is measured in bytes/second, unless a suffix is appended. 11 Appending 'k' or 'K' will count the number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it 12 megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. 13 14 If you also use the --speed-limit option, that option will take precedence and 15 might cripple the rate-limiting slightly, to help keeping the speed-limit 16 logic working. 17 18 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. 19
