Best Way to Download Files Using cURL? Tips and Tricks Needed!

Hey! For handling redirects, you can use `-L` with curl to automatically follow them. It’s super handy when servers move files around. For huge files, I’d recommend using `--limit-rate` to throttle the download speed so it doesn’t hog your bandwidth.

And yeah, `-C -` works like a charm for resuming downloads. Just make sure the server supports it. For multiple files, you can use `xargs` with curl or write a simple bash script to loop through a list of URLs.
