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

Yo, for resuming downloads, `-C -` is reliable as long as the server supports it. You can check with `-I` to see if `Accept-Ranges` is in the headers.

For multiple files, I’d suggest using `parallel` with curl. It’s way faster than a simple loop. Here’s a quick example:

```bash
cat urls.txt | parallel curl -O {}
```
