Re rsync 2.4.6 protocol 24 over ssh, I've tried limiting the bandwidth
used by rsync using

--bwlimit=180

and

--bwlimit=200

by setting it at the client or the server end, but either way it seems
to be ignored.

Is this a known issue and do later releases fix the problem ? Can
bwlimit bet set at either end, or must it be one, the other or both ?

Cheers, J/.

The --bwlimit is for the client side.

It limit the badwidth file by file, and so can't impact very small file
transfert (the bandwidth calculation restart for each file).

And the parameters is in K Bytes per second. In your examples your define a
1800 KB/s and 2000 KB/s bandwidth. Is it correct ?

Some of these are 300 off megabytes !

Oops !

I read it as k bits per second !

Guess I mean 18 and 20 then !

Many thanks ! J/.
