Are you saying this repeatedly calls curl_multi_perform() until the whole
process is complete or are you just calling curl_multi_perform() once in this
function?

curl_multi_perform() is non-blocking, a single call just performs a very small
fraction of a full operation.

This function does not actually want two CURLM handles...

... since curl_multi_add_handle() adds a CURL handle to a CURLM handle.

curl_easy_setopt() operates on a CURL handle.

After a transfer is completed, you need to add new easy handles to the multi
handles to initiate new transfers. So if you change the URL of the same easy
handle you already used, you still need to add it to the multi handle again to
make a second transfer.
