from Man Rsync
--bwlimit=KBPS
This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate
in kilobytes per second.
This option is most effective when using rsync with
large files (several megabytes
and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of
data are sent, then if rsync
determines the transfer was too fast, it will wait
before sending the next data
block. The result is an average transfer rate equalling
the specified limit. A value
of zero specifies no limit.
