Need Help Downloading Files with curl? Best Practices and Common Issues

22 Replies, 1928 Views

Hey everyone! đź‘‹

So, I’ve been trying to figure out downloading files with curl, and I’m kinda stuck. I’ve got the basics down, like using `curl -O` for saving files, but sometimes it just doesn’t work as expected.

Anyone else run into issues with downloading files with curl? Like, the file downloads but it’s incomplete or the name gets messed up? Or maybe the server just times out?

Also, what are some best practices y’all follow when downloading files with curl? Should I always use `-L` for redirects? And what about resuming downloads if they fail halfway?

Any tips or common pitfalls to avoid? Would really appreciate some help here! 🙏

Thanks in advance!
