The file size shown by Windows does not include the size of the
alternate data streams, you'll have to use a streams utility [1] to see
that information.

But I am saving file _AND_ ntfs_stream_data (see semicolon in my example), why zero bytes file is saved when curl report "Received 63528", where the received data goes?
