Sure, for example the simple thing to increase CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE by a factor
of 4 or 8 or something.

Other than so, I'm a bit puzzled and I would perhaps try to monitor (if
possible) what the other faster networking tools do to make this work.

I don't have windows and I don't know windows, I'm not a suitable person to
debug this myself, but I certainly would like what weird things that are going
on here. One would imagine a modern operating system would just do fast
transfers by default...
