Sorry for not being clear, I meant that an API break was strange. We
all love code rewrites!

I hoped that maybe this was a known issue that could be quickly fixed.
If that is not the case, then yeah, I will try to prepare a simple
test case and post it here.
In the mean time, I can give some more details:

- The data being transferred is a series of mp4 files, therefore, the
nature of the corruption is not easily seen. At some point, one of the
files cannot be decoded, but I still do not know why.
- Multi handle setup (I have only one of these):
    context->handle = curl_multi_init ();
    curl_multi_setopt (context->handle, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING, 1);

- Simple handle setup (for each of the downloading tasks):
    task->handle = curl_easy_init ();
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,
        (curl_write_callback) _write_function);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, task);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION,
        (curl_write_callback) _header_function);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_HEADERDATA, task);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_PRIVATE, task);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 1L);
    /* We do not want signals, since we are multithreading */
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1L);
    /* Allow redirections */
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_URL, url);
    curl_easy_setopt (task->handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, range);

- And then, every time the current transfer is detected to be above
75% completion (and it is the only task running), a new task is added
with:
    curl_multi_add_handle (context->handle, next_task->handle);

- Every time a task is completed (or cancelled):
    curl_multi_remove_handle (context->handle, task->handle);
    curl_easy_cleanup (task->handle);

I'll try to prepare a simple test.
Thanks!
