# `--rate`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specify the maximum transfer frequency you allow curl to use - in number of
|
||
|
|
transfer starts per time unit (sometimes called request rate). Without this
|
||
|
|
option, curl starts the next transfer as fast as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If given several URLs and a transfer completes faster than the allowed rate,
|
||
|
|
curl waits until the next transfer is started to maintain the requested
|
||
|
|
rate. This option has no effect when --parallel is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The request rate is provided as "N/U" where N is an integer number and U is a
|
||
|
|
time unit. Supported units are 's' (second), 'm' (minute), 'h' (hour) and 'd'
|
||
|
|
/(day, as in a 24 hour unit). The default time unit, if no "/U" is provided,
|
||
|
|
is number of transfers per hour.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If curl is told to allow 10 requests per minute, it does not start the next
|
||
|
|
request until 6 seconds have elapsed since the previous transfer was started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This function uses millisecond resolution. If the allowed frequency is set
|
||
|
|
more than 1000 per second, it instead runs unrestricted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When retrying transfers, enabled with --retry, the separate retry delay logic
|
||
|
|
is used and not this setting.
