+=item B<LowSpeedLimit> I<Bytes per Second>
+
+Sets the minimal transfer rate in I<Bytes per Second> below which the
+connection with the HTTP server will be considered too slow and aborted. All
+the data submitted over this connection will probably be lost. Defaults to 0,
+which means no minimum transfer rate is enforced.
+
+=item B<Timeout> I<Timeout>
+
+Sets the maximum time in milliseconds given for HTTP POST operations to
+complete. When this limit is reached, the POST operation will be aborted, and
+all the data in the current send buffer will probably be lost. Defaults to 0,
+which means the connection never times out.
+
+The C<write_http> plugin regularly submits the collected values to the HTTP
+server. How frequently this happens depends on how much data you are collecting
+and the size of B<BufferSize>. The optimal value to set B<Timeout> to is
+slightly below this interval, which you can estimate by monitoring the network
+traffic between collectd and the HTTP server.
