Note that the units are Bytes/s not Bits/s. Typically connections are
measured in Bits/s - to convert divide by 8. For example let's say
you have a 10 Mbit/s connection and you wish rclone to use half of it
- 5 Mbit/s. This is 5/8 = 0.625MByte/s so you would use a `--bwlimit
0.625M` parameter for rclone.
