Demonstrates the Chilkat FTP2 download bandwidth throttling property : BandwidthThrottleDown. Go

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    ftp.SetPassword("password")

    // To use FTP bandwidth throttling, set the BandwidthThrottleDown
    // property to a maximum desired bytes/second:
    // This example limits the download to 50K per second.
    ftp.SetBandwidthThrottleDown(50000)

    // The default data transfer mode is "Active" as opposed to "Passive".

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
