Greetings,
Hope you are well. I started using lftp for the first time yesterday
and found it to be pretty cool, so thanks for making it!
I wanted to transfer some files slowly, so after the program started
I set the limit-max value to 25600, opened a connection to the remote
server and then started transferring away - everything seemed to be
working fine, with the transfer running at about 25kB/s.
However, the next day after a kernel update and reboot, I tried doing
the exact same thing, but it seems the data transfer limit value is
now being ignored, and no matter what I do, files are being
transferred at full speed.
Is there perhaps something I'm missing or am I doing it wrong? Any
help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
With thanks,
mog.
Hi, what you want is:
set net:limit-total-rate 25000:25000

Hi Justin,
Thanks very much for your input. I was wondering though, I think that
settings is for all data transmission?
I don't mind at all if the communications channel uses more bandwidth so
it's a bit faster, and generally just wanted to limit the bandwidth of
just the data transfer. Should limit-max not achieve this, or have I
slightly misunderstood the meaning of the settings?
Regards,
mog.
