I believe that's a misunderstanding.

That's a known problem with long-going FTP transfers - totally independent of
buffer size. Since FTP uses two connections, sometimes when a transfer takes
more than a certain time, a network equipment like a NAT or a firewall closes
the control connection due to inactivity before the transfer is done. But that
doesn't seem to be what Taras has described here.

Since libcurl uses non-blocking sockets internally I can't see any reason why
a larger upload buffer would cause a greater risk for any timeout. What am I
missing?
