               * -* Yes, When the transfer is Paused,
the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME options are causing
the connection to get closed. When I set the values to zeor or if I
comment these options, then the connection is not closed and the transfer
remains in Paused state.

         It works. While pausing, I'm setting the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT
and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME option values to 0, When the transfer is
resumed, I am resetting it to the desired values.
