Yo! Slow downloads with curl can be a pain. One thing that helped me was using the `-z` flag to only download if the file has changed. Saves time and bandwidth.
Also, try `--retry` and `--retry-delay` to handle dropped connections. It’s a game-changer for unstable networks.
For large files, `-C -` works like a charm, but make sure the server allows partial downloads.
If you’re into tools, check out `wget2`—it’s faster for some use cases.
