If you notice, that for example the transfer takes too much bandwidth you can modify the transfer rate.

     The Properties window appears.
  2. Click the editable Max Speed (Mbps) drop-down list and select the desired value or manually enter it.
  3. Click OK to confirm.

The new transfer rate will become effective immediately.
