How do I use Curl to download a file from the command line?

22 Replies, 1911 Views

Curl to download a file is super versatile. Here’s a quick example: `curl -O https://example.com/file.zip`. That’ll save it in your current directory.

If you wanna save it with a custom name, use `-o` like `curl -o myfile.zip [URL]`.

Also, if you’re dealing with slow connections, `--limit-rate` can throttle the download speed. Super useful for not hogging bandwidth.
