+# NAME
+
+CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE - rate limit data download speed
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE,
+                          curl_off_t maxspeed);
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. If a download exceeds this *maxspeed*
+(counted in bytes per second) the transfer pauses to keep the average speed
+less than or equal to the parameter value. Defaults to unlimited speed.
+
+This is not an exact science. libcurl attempts to keep the average speed below
+the given threshold over a period time.
+
+If you set *maxspeed* to a value lower than CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE(3),
+libcurl might download faster than the set limit initially.
+
+This option does not affect transfer speeds done with FILE:// URLs.
+
+# DEFAULT
+
+0, disabled
+
+# PROTOCOLS
+
+All but file://
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(void)
+{
+  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+  if(curl) {
+    CURLcode ret;
+    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
+    /* cap the download speed to 31415 bytes/sec */
+    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE, (curl_off_t)31415);
+    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
+  }
+}

+# AVAILABILITY
