PERSISTANT CONNECTIONS
Specifying multiple files on a single command line will make curl transfer
all of them, one after the other in the specified order.
libcurl will attempt to use persistant connections for the transfers so that
the second transfer to the same host can use the same connection that was
already initiated and was left open in the previous transfer. This greatly
decreases connection time for all but the first transfer and it makes a far
better use of the network.
Note that curl cannot use persistant connections for transfers that are used
in subsequence curl invokes. Try to stuff as many URLs as possible on the
same command line if they are using the same host, as that'll make the
transfers faster.
Persistant connections were introduced in curl 7.7.
