Make curl download 200 images but not faster than 14 transfers per minute:

curl --rate 14/m -O https://example.com/[1-200].jpg

## Number of units

Starting in curl 8.10.0 this option accepts an optional *number of units*. The
request rate is then provided as **N** / **Z** **U** (with no spaces) where
**N** is a number, **Z** is a number of time units and **U** is a time unit.

The number and the units are the same as mentioned above, but now you can also
specify a number of time units. **N** requests per **Z** number of **N**
units.

For example, make no more than eight transfers every five seconds:

curl --rate 8/5s -O https://example.com/[1-100].jpg
