It reuses some connections and most of the times it says " * Connection
75 seems to be dead!
* Closing connection 75 " and uses new one. Should i use some additional
functionality that will keep the connection alive in all cases?

to get responses back to back (after one is downloaded request for the
next) should i do something else (other than using curl_multi_perform()
in a loop)? Do you mean i should include sleep so that it doesn't use
the 100% of CPU?

Thanks for this. I'll look through the examples.
