+# `--limit-rate`
+
+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 would
+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' counts the number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it
+megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it gigabytes. The suffixes (k, M, G, T, P)
+are 1024 based. For example 1k is 1024. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G.
+
+The rate limiting logic works on averaging the transfer speed to no more than
+the set threshold over a period of multiple seconds.
+
+If you also use the --speed-limit option, that option takes precedence and
+might cripple the rate-limiting slightly, to help keep the speed-limit
+logic working.
