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