How to limit the download speed of a cURL request?

To limit the download speed of a cURL request, you can use the --limit-rate command line option. The --limit-rate option allows you to specify the maximum transfer rate in bytes per second.

Here's an example of how to limit the download speed of a cURL request to 1MB/s (1048576 bytes per second):

curl --limit-rate 1048576 <URL>

Replace <URL> with the actual URL you want to download from. Adjust the value 1048576 as per your desired download speed limit.

By setting the --limit-rate option, cURL will automatically throttle the download speed to the specified rate.
