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?

Mog,
I believe it is for all data transmissions within the lftp session:
net:limit-total-rate (bytes per second)
limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlim-
ited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit
download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have
receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load
higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You
can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to
avoid this.
Yes because when you list a large directory, it is limited by this parameter.
However, I have not found that a serious issue in normal operation, what
problem are you seeing?
Justin.
