Yes. That was a typo. My apologies.
I actually set my low-speed limit to 1 byte/sec. And the low speed time to 1
minute (not 1 second!)

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. You may wish to update this URL:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTLOWSPEEDTIME.
They indicate that the timeout will occur when the transmission falls below
a certain speed for a fixed amount of time. That is technically inaccurate.
It might be good to mention the averaging.
