Ugh, curl can be finicky. Here’s what I do:

`curl -fLO https://example.com/file.zip`

The `-f` fails silently if the HTTP status is bad, `-L` follows redirects.

Also, if the server’s picky, try adding headers like `-H "Accept: application/zip"`.

For auth, `-u` is key. Paste the error if none of this works!
