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

Wow, thanks everyone for the awesome tips! I tried using `-L` for redirects, and it worked like a charm. Also, `-C -` saved me when my download got interrupted—super reliable!

I’m still getting the hang of downloading multiple files, but I’ll definitely try `parallel` and `xargs` next. Quick question though: does `-Z` with `--parallel` work on all servers, or are there specific requirements?

Thanks again, you guys rock!

Hey! For redirects, `-L` is your go-to. And for huge files, try `--limit-rate` to throttle the download speed.

If you’re downloading multiple files, you can use `-Z` with `--parallel` in newer curl versions. It’s a game-changer for batch downloads. Also, check out `curl-loader` for stress testing downloads.
