How can I use curl to access a binary file directly from a URL?

Yo, curl access a binary is easy peasy. Just use `curl -o filename.bin [URL]` and you’re golden.

If you’re paranoid about corruption, download it twice and compare the files with `cmp`. Or use `curl --remote-time` to get the exact timestamp from the server.
