How can I download a curl file from a URL efficiently? or What's the best way to use curl to save a f

If you’re on macOS/Linux, `curl -O` should work, but sometimes the server gives a 403. Try adding a referer header:
`curl -e "https://example.com" -O [URL]`.

Also, if the curl file is huge, `--limit-rate 1M` throttles the download so you don’t hog bandwidth.

For more advanced stuff, check out `curl`’s man page—it’s a goldmine.
