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

Yo, download using curl can be tricky, but here’s a pro tip: use `--compressed` to save bandwidth. It requests compressed files from the server, which speeds things up.

For resuming, `-C -` is the way to go, but not all servers play nice with it.

Also, check out `lftp` if you’re dealing with FTP downloads—it’s way more robust than curl for that.
