The multi API handles many transfers in parallel, but it will do them all
independent and as fast as possible. If you add three easy handles, libcurl
will try to perform those three transfers as quickly as it can.

If you need the transfers done serially, you need to wait until transfer one
is done before you add the easy handle for transfer two and so on.
