@ -283,6 +283,14 @@ you have a 10 Mbit/s connection and you wish rclone to use half of it
- 5 Mbit/s. This is 5/8 = 0.625MByte/s so you would use a `--bwlimit - 5 Mbit/s. This is 5/8 = 0.625MByte/s so you would use a `--bwlimit
0.625M` parameter for rclone. 0.625M` parameter for rclone.
On Unix systems (Linux, MacOS, …) the bandwidth limiter can be toggled by
sending a `SIGUSR2` signal to rclone. This allows to remove the limitations
of a long running rclone transfer and to restore it back to the value specified
with `--bwlimit` quickly when needed. Assuming there is only one rclone instance
running, you can toggle the limiter like this:
kill -SIGUSR2 $(pidof rclone)
