axel: Limit download speed (bytes per second).
$ axel -s ${speed} ${url}
try on your machine

This command is using the axel command-line tool, which is a download accelerator.

The -s option is used to specify the download speed limit in bytes per second. ${speed} is a placeholder for the desired speed you want to set. You would replace ${speed} with an actual value (e.g., 1024 for 1KB/s).

${url} is also a placeholder for the URL of the file you want to download. You would replace ${url} with the actual URL you want to download from.

Overall, this command sets a speed limit for downloading a file using axel.
