The name resoluation is fine and the transfer actually began, but not
finished. The downloaded file basically is not complete.

At some point of time, I suspect maybe connection is too slow (this is a
Chinese RSS site, connection from US to it is slow for whatever reason).
So I added speed limit to try to time it out:

        // if the download speed is lower than 5byte/sec for more
than 20 sec, timeout
        // set CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT to 5 byte/sec
        m_err = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT, 5);
        if (m_err != CURLE_OK) goto onErr;
        // set CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME to 20 sec
        m_err = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME, 20);
        if (m_err != CURLE_OK) goto onErr;

        But this addition does not seem to help out.
