What am I doing wrong here?

You're running the whole thing in a while(TRUE) loop,
recreating the curl object re-initiating the transfer and file
pointer, etc.
The reason I used a while loop was to detect loss of internet
connection and resume the process once the connection is
re-established. What would have been a better approach?
furthermore, the curl.set(CurlOption.writedata,
&fp); doesn't work as you expect..
The idea was to detect an incomplete download and continue from
where it left off. I'm sometimes downloading files 15Gb or
greater. Reaching 80% and having to restart the process is a
nogo. As I understand it, `CurlOption.writedata` allows me to
achieve that goal. Is there a better option to accomplish the
same?
After fiddling a bit, this works:
curl.onReceive = (ubyte[] data) { fp.rawWrite(data); return
data.length;};
Thank you for your assistance thus far.
