What's the most useful curl flag you use regularly? or How do you properly use the -L curl flag for r

Wow, thanks everyone! Didn’t expect so many pro tips.

The alias idea is genius—definitely stealing that. And the timestamp trick for -o is slick.

Follow-up Q: What if the URL has weird chars? Like, `curl -O https://example.com/file%20name.zip`—will -O handle the %20 or do I need -o?

(Also, `-v` flag is a game-changer. Why didn’t I know about this sooner?!)
