The progress callback is called exactly the same for all protocols libcurl
supports.

That sounds like you're doing something wrong. Like perhaps not having your
callback declared to use doubles for the four sizes passed on to it.

There's no difference in the callback code for 10MB or 100MB or even
1000000MB.

And I don't suspect any bug in this area really, since it's been largely
untouched for years and we've never seen a bug report like this before.
