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

Pro tip: Use `-J` to let curl handle the filename from headers. Saves so much hassle with weird URLs.

And if you’re scripting downloads, always wrap curl in a loop with `|| exit 1` to catch failures.

For debugging, `--trace-ascii` dumps everything. Overkill? Maybe. Helpful? Absolutely.
