Linux download tool Curl

Linux download tool Curl is also a good command line download tool in Linux, which is small and fast. The only drawback is that multi-thread download is not supported. Download the latest version at http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.14.0.tar.gz.

After the download, you can use the following command to compile and install:

 
 

  
  
#tar zxvf curl-7.14.0.tar.gz  
  
  
#cd curl-7.14.0/  
  
  
#./configure  
  
  
#make  
  
  
#make test  
  
  
#make install 
 
 

The Curl format is as follows: # curl [Option] []
Typical Curl downloads are as follows: # curl-O http: // 10.1.27.10 /~ Kennycx/tools/lumaqq_2004-linux_gtk2_x86_with_jre.tar.gz uses Curl to download a file and save it to the current directory.

In addition, although Curl does not support multi-threaded download, it can download multiple files at the same time or a part of the downloaded files. You can use the following command to achieve this:
# Curl-r 0-199 http://www.netscape.com/get the first 200 bytes of the file.

You can easily download Curl from common proxies. The specific operations are as follows:
# Curl-x 10.1.27.10: 1022 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/README
Use the proxy server with the proxy address 10.1.27.10 and port 1022 to download an object.
# Curl-U user: passwd-x 10.1.27.10: 1022 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/README
If the proxy server requires special authentication, enter a valid account and password at user: passwd.
