Best Practices to Download Files Using cURL: What Are Your Go-To Commands?

Wow, thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried `-L` for redirects, and it worked like a charm. Also, gave `--parallel` a shot, and it’s definitely faster for multiple files.

I’m still figuring out the auth stuff—tried `-u` and it worked, but I’ll look into `.netrc` for better security.

One quick question though: for resuming downloads, does `-C -` work with all servers, or are there some that just don’t support it?

Thanks again, y’all are awesome! 🍻
