I am trying to control the number of bytes downloaded by libcurl.

Libcurl seems to want to download the whole file I specify in CURLOPT_URL.
InternetReadFileEx() in Windows allows you to specify the number of
bytes to download in the INTERNET_BUFFERS structure.

I have tried using CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, but libcurl just ignores this
request and downloads the whole thing.

Is there a way to download a specific number of bytes instead of the whole
file with libcurl?

thanks,
Mike
