If CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME causes the connection to
get closed while the connection is paused then I might consider that a bug...
CURL_TIMEOUT is trickier.

Nothing is being sent or read when the connection is paused so it's not really
possibly to detect network errors unless you enable TCP keep-alives. libcurl
doesn't do keep-alives on its own.

I think you can!
