when i use "-m 1" i think it is me i ask to stop curl after 1 second of
download :)

they are in fact 2 bugs because error 28 gives three sentences...

In a classical software every error number will receive only 1 sentence
(too many connexions, disk full, host not found, too small resolution,
not sound card detected...)
here for the same error code number 28 we have 3 sentences for the same
number !!!
two sentences about timeout and one sentence about user request (-m
switch in commandline)

i maintain a software stopping asked by a user request *MUST* not have
the same error number than an software which has been stopped by any
kind of timeout not asked by the
user !
