If CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT & CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME is not enough for
you, then you can implement any kind of rule using a progress callback
(CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION). Eg. this is how we solved a similar problem
in the libzypp curl backend:
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/libzypp/zypp/media/MediaCurl.cc
(look for progressCallback).
