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

For big downloads, I always pair curl with `pv` to get a progress bar with speed estimates.

Like: `curl -L [URL] | pv > file.zip`

Makes waiting less painful. Also, `-o /dev/null` is handy for testing speeds without saving.
