    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.
