.TH CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE \- rate limit data download speed
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE,
curl_off_t maxspeed);
2014-06-19 23:59:00 +08:00
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. If a download exceeds this \fImaxspeed\fP
(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.
2014-06-19 23:59:00 +08:00
This is not an exact science. libcurl attempts to keep the average speed below
the given threshold over a period time.
If you set \fImaxspeed\fP to a value lower than \fICURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE(3)\fP,
libcurl might download faster than the set limit initially.
This option does not affect transfer speeds done with FILE:// URLs.
2014-06-19 23:59:00 +08:00
.SH DEFAULT
0, disabled
.SH PROTOCOLS

.SH EXAMPLE

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