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!

| Re: [Proftpd-user] ProFTPd Rate limiting / Bandwidth control 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!
