I looks fine, and you can verify yourself by reading the verbose output as it
states clearly when it reuses connections.

But I can also tell you that your program will busy-loop and use 100% CPU
for as long as there are transfers going and that is wasteful and ineffective.
Don't do curl_multi_perform() in a loop like that.

CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is the *only* API you can receive data with if you don't
want to store it directly to a file. libcurl can't deliver data in any other
way than piece by piece.
