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

Hey! For speeding up download using curl, try using the `--parallel` flag if you're downloading multiple files. It splits the workload and can really boost speed.

Also, `-C -` is a lifesaver for resuming broken downloads. It works great in practice, just make sure the server supports it.

For large files, I’d recommend combining `-C -` with `--limit-rate` to avoid overwhelming your connection.

If you’re still having issues, check out `aria2`—it’s like curl on steroids for downloads.
