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

If you’re downloading files with curl and need auth, `-u user:pass` is your friend.

But be careful—credentials in the command line? Not great. Use `-n` with `.netrc` instead.

And for rate-limiting, `--speed-limit` + `--speed-time` can auto-abort slow downloads.
