Downloading with curl example

Mac OS X comes with curl as the command line web tool.

You may be familiar with wget think of curl as wget on steroids. There is a litany of options one can employ when using curl, so to just get you started you might want to try one of the following:

curl -C -O - ''

The -C says continue

-O opts to make use of the remote file name as the output file for the local save

If you want to make use of a file name that you specify then you would employ:

curl -C -o ''
