Hey there! If you’re dealing with slow download speeds using curl, try tweaking the `--limit-rate` flag. It lets you control the bandwidth, which can sometimes stabilize the connection.

For resuming downloads, `-C -` is solid, but it depends on the server. If it doesn’t work, you might need to start over.

Also, check out `axel`—it’s a multi-threaded downloader that’s way faster for large files.
