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.
-The given rate is the average speed counted during the entire transfer. It
-means that curl might use higher transfer speeds in short bursts, but over

If you also use the \fI-Y, --speed-limit\fP option, that option will take
precedence and might cripple the rate-limiting slightly, to help keeping the
speed-limit logic working.
