There isn't one built in, but 50Mb is probably close to the disk speed
you can sustain after buffers are full and you factor in the seeks for
new directory entries. If you are using rsync, a lot of the elapsed
time is spend comparing existing files without using a lot of bandwidth.
If you want to reduce bandwidth, you can add the --bwlimit option to
the rsync command.
