Hello,
i noticed libsoup has many features that curl is missing and so i would encourage to continue the working on this backend.
Anyway there's a fundamental issue i still don't know if it's related to libsoup or the backend (hopefully the backend).
When loading a big page such as planet.gnome.org a number of elements are not being loaded. For example it loads 10-15 images and the others (about 20, but it's random) are not loaded. The job is started but libsoup never request for them.
If i stop loading then all these jobs are stopped as well in libsoup, this means the requests are queued inside libsoup but never done.
I had a talk with libsoup developers and they're going to see what happens too.
I also tried to limit the number of connections per host and totally but this won't fix the problem.

Was a libsoup issue, it has been fixed in trunk thanks to Dan.
