The subject says crash, this says "stops".

When you say "stops", you mean it returns before it is complete? If so, what
does curl_easy_perform() return?

Please remind me, what libcurl version on what OS is this?

closing implies flusing, no need to make that too.

And you get only the partial file? How much is missing? Does it always miss
the same amount? Does it always miss a part?

Checking return code is vital.

Perhaps, but this little snippet doesn't tell.

If you _really_ want us to help, you should make an effort to write a small
stand-alone source code example that makes your problem appear when operating
on a public URL. It would enable us to debug and trace everything easily in
our ends.
