As mentioned by curl_easy_setopt(3), setting the buffer size via
CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE is treated as a request, not an order. In particular,
you're less likely to have this request granted when _increasing_ the
size of the buffer as you're limited by the sending host on the other
end. This isn't really a limitation of libcurl specifically, but of all
network I/O.
