easy:SetOpt_MaxFileSize_Large(size)
size
(in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found
larger than this value, the transfer will not start and
#CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED
will be returned.
The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
