How do I efficiently download files using curl? Tips and tricks needed!

16 Replies, 1272 Views

Hey everyone!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to download using curl more efficiently, but I keep running into issues. Like, sometimes the download speed is super slow, or the connection drops halfway.

Any tips or tricks to make download using curl smoother? I know the basic `curl -O [URL]` thing, but are there flags or options to speed things up or resume broken downloads?

Also, what’s the deal with handling large files? I’ve heard about `-C -` for resuming, but does it work well in practice?

Would love to hear your experiences or any cool hacks you’ve picked up. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry if this has been asked before—I did a quick search but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!
