Hi,
I was running into the problem when I tried to download spring:
$ curl https://codeload.github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/zip/master -o /home/cdmahao/
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0Warning: Failed to create the file /home/cdmahao/: No such file or directory
  0 18.6M    0   720    0     0    755      0  7:10:44 --:--:--  7:10:44   755
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 720)

But I can do the download via 'curl xx > xx'
$ curl https://codeload.github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/zip/master > test.zip
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Here is the curl version:
$ curl --version
