Maybe, I haven't tried your fixes to know if they
work. But I have tried this new version on
simultaneously downloading dozens of files at a time
and doing so continuously for a day across thousands
of files.

The biggest reasons I see are:
1. it makes implementation for the end user
simpler(less code) and the API easier to
understand(fewer docs for the callback)
2. it makes the implementation of multi simpler
3. it avoids an extra malloc and free for every
message
