1.1 ! misho 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.
