The real issue has been discovered. The system that the file was being sent
to was moving the file while it was being sent. It checked for the file
every 5 min. and relocated it. My process kept retrying the transfer every
10 minutes. Now I immediately retry a failed transfer and, if needed,
recycle attempts every 7 min.

Thanks

It sounds as if the transfer is being aborted by something along the way. It

could be a bad network, bad proxy, bad server or a curl bug. Does it always
die after the same amount of time?

I'm not familiar with any bug in curl that would produce this problem, but
then you're using a fairly old version.
