20If a transfer runs slower than speed-limit bytes per second during a
21speed-time period, the transfer is aborted. If speed-time is used, the default
22speed-limit is 1 unless set with --speed-limit.

24This option controls transfers (in both directions) but does not affect slow
25connects etc. If this is a concern for you, try the --connect-timeout option.
