Need Help Downloading with curl: Why Isn’t My Command Working?

18 Replies, 1685 Views

Hey! So, downloading with curl can be a bit tricky if the URL has spaces or special characters. You might wanna try wrapping the URL in quotes like this:
`curl -O "https://example.com/file.zip"`

Also, if it’s just sitting there, maybe the server is slow or the file is huge. Try adding `-#` to show a progress bar:
`curl -# -O https://example.com/file.zip`

If you’re still stuck, check out [curl’s official docs](https://curl.se/docs/). They’re super helpful!
