Like i said : this is just for comparaison !!
I write a simple test application that use libcurl to download a File with
360 MB size on localhost using apache webserver the speed is between
11MB/s and 12 MB/s
then I configured Internet download manager (IDMan) witch uses wininet, to
use ONE THREAD to download this file in the same conditions but his speed
exceed 30MB/s (bettween (30 & 40 MB/s))
so I wonder why this difference.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the RECEIVE BUFFER and the
possibility to modify CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE.

The

size

the CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE define is located in curl.h header in
/curl-7.23.1/include/curl/curl.h
so I have modified this value to 100Kb { 1024 * 100 } then recompiled
libcurl.dll
after use, the amount of data downloaded for each call to Progression
function is MAXIMUM = 16384 and never exceed that.
