NAME

       CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE - rate limit data download speed

SYNOPSIS

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE,
                                 curl_off_t speed);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  curl_off_t  as parameter.  If a download exceeds this speed (counted in bytes per
       second) the transfer will pause to keep the speed less than  or  equal  to  the  parameter
       value. Defaults to unlimited speed.

       This option doesn't affect transfer speeds done with FILE:// URLs.

DEFAULT

         /* cap the download speed to 31415 bytes/sec */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE, (curl_off_t)31415);
