I am the interactive user but I'm usually not on site to monitor

That depends on where you want to use that download function.
If it is intended to download a full software update of a

greater than one and of log the event.

```
ubyte [<?>] buf;
curl.set (CurlOption.errorbuffer, buf.ptr);
```
to store that result.
Okay. Got it. Thank you.
