1GB is not a magic limit for any kind of system known to me so it cannot be
due to file size. I would rather assume the time the transfer takes might have
an impact - and I don't mean to curl itself but to something in your system or
network.
It would possibly help if you eloborate on "the pull fails" with a lot more
detail.

On all reasonably modern operating systems curl supports transfers of file
sizes up to at least 64bit (>18000 Petabytes if I counted correctly). Not all
server implementations can though.
