TJ, just to make things clear ..... TransferRate uses KBytes and
not Kbits .... so, if i wanna limit transfers in 1Mbit/s i would use
128, ok ???

1Mbit/s = 128Kbyte/s

Thank you, TJ...I actually did figure that out after I sent this by using
trial and error. 1.1 actually stalled, and 11000000 let it go too fast.
1100 is what I want and it appears to work just great!

1024 Kbyte/s = 8192kbit/s = 8Mbit/s .....

i think limiting in 1Mbit/s would be RETR 128, if that's Kbyte/s ......

128Kbyte/s = 1024Kbit/s = 1 Mbit/s

No, depending the context :
This is/seems right :

1000000 bytes = 1000 Kbytes = 1 Mbyte
1000000 bits = 1000 Kbits = 1 Mbit
8 bits = 1 byte

Well, there are 8 bits in a byte, so in synchronous transfers, you need to
divide by 8 if it's bytes instead of bits (asynch would be 10 to 1 because
of start and stop bits).

I just changed the directive from:

TransferRate RETR,STOR,APPE,STOU 1100

to:

TransferRate RETR,STOR,APPE,STOU 110

and now my transfer rate is:

7310926 bytes received in 01:04 (109.98 KB/s)

Which is more what I need, since I'm trying to make sure that one session
won't choke a 6Mbit/sec dedicated connection.

Thanks again everybody!

Actually, 1024 Kbyte = 1MByte, not 1Mbit.

Correct...maybe you made a typo in your first example...
