System: Win 7, with Oracle VMBox running Debian 6 as guest.
I am wondering if my problem has to do with the bridged connections.
 
Download of web page and csv files are having bytes dropped from the download.
Between seperate runs, quanity of dropped bytes veries.
 
getinmemory.c example just gave me compiler error about void and char*.
Seems like functions did not agree with the declarations.
 
This is what I am using. The commented out 'buffer' was the only way I could get it to even half-way download.
 
static size_t write_data(char* data, size_t size, size_t nmemb, string* buffer) {
    int results = 0;
//    if (buffer != NULL) {
        buffer->append(data, size*nmemb);
        results = size * nmemb;
//    }
    return results;
}

string yahoo_etf_url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/etf/browser/mkt?c0&k=5&f=0&o=d&cs=1&ce=2000";
    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (curl) {
//        curl_easy_setopt( curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1 );
        curl_easy_setopt( curl, CURLOPT_URL,  yahoo_etf_url.c_str() );
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, &write_data);
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &etf_page);
        curl_easy_perform(curl);
        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }
