Need help: How do I use curl to download a file from a URL?

9 Replies, 1517 Views

Hey! Quick tip: if you’re downloading a file and want to see the progress, add `-#` to your command:
`curl -# -O https://example.com/file.zip`

It’ll show a progress bar so you know how much is left. Super useful for large files!

Also, if you’re on Windows, make sure you’re using curl from the command prompt or PowerShell. Sometimes the syntax can be a bit different.
