Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been messing around with downloading files using curl lately, and I’m curious—what are your go-to commands? I’ve been using the basic `curl -O [URL]` to download files curl-style, but I feel like there’s gotta be more to it.
Like, how do you handle redirects or resume downloads if they get interrupted? I’ve seen `-L` for following redirects and `-C -` for resuming, but I’m not 100% sure if I’m using them right.
Also, what about downloading files curl-style from sites that need authentication? Do you just slap on `-u username:password` and call it a day?
Oh, and any tips for speeding things up? I’ve heard `--parallel` can help, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Would love to hear your fave commands or any tricks you’ve picked up! Cheers! 🍻
