I tried curl some time ago.. and sometimes I got machine exceptions
(not really repeatable). That time I switched to wget using
ShellExecute. I feel that a decent and stable network library in EU is
not yet available.

According to the authors, libcurl *must* be initialized at the very beginning of
the main program from where it is used and *not* when any of the library
functions are about to be used.
Otherwise, programs may experience crashes at random (non repeatable).
Besides, libcurl is much more powerful than wget.
