+## 🆕 Progress capturing
+
+Axios supports both browser and node environments to capture request upload/download progress.
+
+```js    
+await axios.post(url, data, {
+  onUploadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) {
+    /*{
+      loaded: number;
+      total?: number;
+      progress?: number; // in range [0..1]
+      bytes: number; // how many bytes have been transferred since the last trigger (delta)
+      estimated?: number; // estimated time in seconds
+      rate?: number; // upload speed in bytes
+      upload: true; // upload sign
+    }*/
+  },
+
+  onDownloadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) {
+    /*{
+      loaded: number;
+      total?: number;
+      progress?: number;
+      bytes: number; 
+      estimated?: number;
+      rate?: number; // download speed in bytes
+      download: true; // download sign
+    }*/
+  }
+});  
+```
+
+You can also track stream upload/download progress in node.js:
+
+```js
+const {data} = await axios.post(SERVER_URL, readableStream, {
+   onUploadProgress: ({progress}) => {
+     console.log((progress * 100).toFixed(2));
+   },
+
+   headers: {
+    'Content-Length': contentLength
+   },
+
+   maxRedirects: 0 // avoid buffering the entire stream
+});
+````
+
+> **Note:**
+> Capturing FormData upload progress is currently not currently supported in node.js environments.
+
+> **⚠️ Warning**
+> It is recommended to disable redirects by setting maxRedirects: 0 to upload the stream in the **node.js** environment,
+> as follow-redirects package will buffer the entire stream in RAM without following the "backpressure" algorithm.
+
+
+## 🆕 Rate limiting
+
+Download and upload rate limits can only be set for the http adapter (node.js):
+
+```js
+const {data} = await axios.post(LOCAL_SERVER_URL, myBuffer, {
+  onUploadProgress: ({progress, rate}) => {
+    console.log(`Upload [${(progress*100).toFixed(2)}%]: ${(rate / 1024).toFixed(2)}KB/s`)
+  },
+
+  maxRate: [100 * 1024], // 100KB/s limit
+});
+```
+
 ## Semver
 
 Until axios reaches a `1.0` release, breaking changes will be released with a new minor version. For example `0.5.1`, and `0.5.4` will have the same API, but `0.6.0` will have breaking changes.
