If the commands sent by curl and your other client are exactly the same,
then there isn't much left that could cause a difference. Perhaps there's
a traffic-shaping firewall in the way that could slow curl down. Other
perhaps there's some kind of socket option that curl uses/should use that
accounts for the difference. You might upload some comparative Ethereal
traces of the two transfers somewhere for people here to take a gander at.
