I've seen it happen before, although it has never been shown to be curl's
fault. It is usually because of a silly server, firewall, proxy or something
else that breaks the connection.
There is nothing in curl that can overflow or reach a maximum level. I've
personally downloaded _very_ large files with curl with no problems at all.

Do you get the same effect from other sites? What OS and curl version are you
using?
