While executing the wget, by default it will try to occupy full possible bandwidth.
This might not be acceptable when you are downloading huge files on production servers.
So, to avoid that we can limit the download speed using the -–limit-rate as shown below.
In the following example, the download speed is limited to 200k.
wget --limit-rate=200k http://www.openss7.org/repos/tarballs/strx25-0.9.2.1.tar.bz2
