What’s the best way to handle downloading files with curl? or How do I automate downloading files wit

Nice tips! Another thing I always do when downloading files with curl is adding `--fail` to make sure curl actually errors out if the download fails.

Also, if you're dealing with sketchy connections, `--retry 3` helps auto-retry failed downloads.

For monitoring progress, `-#` gives you a sweet little bar instead of the default mess.

Ever tried aria2c? It’s like curl on steroids for parallel downloads.
