The reason I used a while loop was to detect loss of internet 
connection and resume the process once the connection is 
re-established. What would have been a better approach?

The idea was to detect an incomplete download and continue from 
where it left off. I'm sometimes downloading files 15Gb or 
greater. Reaching 80% and having to restart the process is a 
nogo. As I understand it, `CurlOption.writedata` allows me to 
achieve that goal. Is there a better option to accomplish the 
same?

Thank you for your assistance thus far.
