Surely you stopped that transfer somehow before you reset the handle? If
you're using the easy interface you have to, and if you use the multi
interface you call curl_multi_remove_handle() before you reset it, right?
That removal stops the transfer.

Stopping a transfer before it is complete will cause the connection to get
disconnected since then it cannot be reused.
