If you’re stuck with CMD, try this:
`curl https://example.com --output output.txt --no-buffer`
The `--no-buffer` flag can help with weird encoding issues. For appending, `>>` *should* work, but if it doesn’t, maybe your shell’s wonky.
Also, check if your anti-virus is blocking file writes—sounds dumb, but it happens.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried the `-o` flag, and it worked perfectly. Still figuring out the appending part—PowerShell’s `Out-File -Append` seems to do the trick, but CMD’s `>>` is hit or miss.
Weirdly, the encoding issue went away when I switched to Git Bash. Maybe CMD just hates me lol.
Anyone know why `>>` behaves differently in CMD vs. PowerShell? Is it a buffer thing?
