Re: max bandwidth?

[Graham Percival <gperciva@tarsnap.com>]

The value you specified, --maxbw 200000000000, is 200 gigs.  --maxbw should
work with values like 2G or 2M.  Note that the G and M must be capital
letters.
(although if you use a lower-case letter, it will give you an error message)

To test this, I recommend setting it to a small value such as 1M.

> Hello to all. I tried to implement a max bandwidth of 2 gigs in one of my scripts. I do not have this set in the config as I want this to be script specific. I did something like  --maxbw 200000000000 but it already did about 3 gigs.  Did I calculate wrong/ I also tried maxbw 3g thinking that would also work, but not yet. I didn't see anything wrong in the debug log so am a bit confused.
