I think that there is no supported way to pause one download from a multi
session.

I found that the only time curl_multi_remove_handle() can be safely used is
before curl_multi_perform(), or after curl_multi_info_read() indicates that
it has finished. I thought this was intentional, but now I've looked at the
man pages again I'm not sure.
