Bandwidth Limit on rsync

I wanted to transfer some files between two computers, but don’t want to use all bandwidth available on the network as it will affect other users on the network.

To limit bandwidth, use –bwlimit Option.

rsync -avzP  --bwlimit=1500 /mnt/data/learn/css/BootStrap3/ [email protected]:/home/php-tutorial/BootStrap3/

Here –bwlimit=1500 will limit bandwidth usage to 1.5 MB/s.
