Adjusting The Maximum Send Rate For A Transfer
##############################################

The maximum send rate for an active transfer may be adjusted from the :doc:`transfer-monitor`.

To adjust the maximum send rate for a transfer:

- Switch to the :doc:`transfer-monitor`.
- In the :doc:`transfer-monitor`, click the :guilabel:`ᐧᐧᐧ` symbol to the left of the transfer to be adjusted. This will open a popup menu.
- From the popup menu, use the :guilabel:`Send Rate` input to set the desired maximum send rate.
    - The send rate is a number optionally followed by a unit which can be one of:
        - ``B``: bit/s
        - ``K``: Kbit/s (1000 bits per second)
        - ``M``: Mbit/s (1,000,000 bits per second)
        - ``G``: Gbit/s (1,000,000,000 bits per second)
    - If no units are specified, ``M`` is assumed.
    - You can also specify ``auto`` to manage the rate automatically. This will usually be the fastest rate possible, given current network limits and server policies.

After increasing the maximum send rate, a transfer's effective send rate will not necessarily immediately reflect this requested speed. Several conditions come into consideration that govern that rate of a transfer, including network conditions, the requirements of other active transfers, and restrictions imposed by the sending and/or receiving JetStream servers.

.. note:: If the send rate is larger or smaller than the server's limits, it will be adjusted to fit within an accepted range.

.. tip:: If the selected transfer is finished, or has failed with an error, then the :guilabel:`ᐧᐧᐧ` popup menu will display the last assigned send rate for the transfer, but the value may not be edited.
