I've just rechecked and you're right
-> Bandwidth Limit (kbps)
but where did you get the 0-400000000 limit from?

I have successfully set mine to "999999999" in the
Raq550 GUI with no problems.

Just to be sure we're looking at the same thing, the
configuration is found at:
Server Management -> System Settings -> Bandwidth
Limits

Another thought, how about disabling the website
first? or stopping the web server via the CLI,
and then try to apply the bw limits. Maybe it can't
"reduce" the speed because your site has already
exceeded the 40kbps in the first place. I should
try it myself, but am too lazy to upload a huge
file over... have been fighting determined spammers
the whole day, internal and external... :P

regards.
