If you do it for FTP, make sure SIZE won't return any size for the file.

In general, libcurl won't care for how fast or slow you actually send the
file. Once the transfer has started, libcurl will just sit waiting for more
data. If you send data slowly, then libcurl will receive it slowly.

I don't think you should use that feature at all. Just let the transfer be
slow.
