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.
