I find that very strange.

I forwarded this proeblem to the libcurl mailing list. I don't develop under
windows myself, so I have a hard time to figure out anything like this would
happen. The code that deals with timeouts during transfers are not platform
specific and should work on windows (too).

I'm grateful for any further digging you can do in the matter, although I
understand perfectly if you're not capable of persuing this any further.
