That won't control the transfer speed though, it will just control the
speed at which I retrieve it from libcurl, which probably means that
libcurl will have to allocate more and more memory to buffer the incoming
data until my program reads them. I would like to instruct the distant
server to send at a reduced speed, so there is no excessive buffering of
incoming data, and the associated strain on the client machine.
