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 will take precedence and might cripple the rate-limiting slightly, to help keeping the speed-limit logic working.
