Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl easy_handles. +A network transfer moves data to a peer or from a peer. An application tells +libcurl how to receive data by setting the \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP and +\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP options.
