aria2c: Limit download speed in bytes/s.
$ aria2c --max-download-limit=${speed} "${url}"
try on your machine

This command is written in the format of the aria2c command-line utility, which is a lightweight multi-protocol and multi-source download accelerator.

By running this command, the aria2c utility will be executed with some specific options:

  1. --max-download-limit=${speed}: This option sets the maximum download limit for each connection in the download. The value ${speed} would be replaced with a specific value, indicating the maximum speed in bytes per second that aria2c is allowed to use for downloading the file. For example, if ${speed} is replaced with 1024, it will limit the download speed to 1 kilobyte per second.

  2. "${url}": This is the URL of the file to be downloaded, enclosed in double quotes. The aria2c utility will start downloading the file from this URL.

Overall, this command initializes aria2c with a maximum download limit and starts downloading a file from the specified URL. The maximum speed limit helps control the download speed.
