"What’s the best way to handle downloading files with curl?"
Alright, so I’ve been downloading files with curl for a while now, and lemme tell ya—there’s a right way and a *painfully slow* way.
First off, always use `-L` to follow redirects (so many broken downloads happen without it).
And if you’re downloading files with curl and wanna save it with the OG filename, throw in `-O`. No more guessing what `file.zip?version=3` actually is.
Oh, and for big files? `-C -` is a lifesaver. Resume those failed downloads like a boss.
Pro tip: Wanna go faster? Try `--parallel` if your curl version supports it. Game changer.
What’s your goto trick for downloading files with curl? Mine’s definitely the resume flag—saved me so much time.
(Also, why does curl sometimes just… give up? Drives me nuts.)
