To make curl operate more like wget when downloading files, use curl -JOR where: -O,--remote-name uses the trailing URL component as the filename to save; -J,--remote-header-name works with -O,--remote-name to use the server Content-Disposition header filename if available, instead of the trailing URL component, as the filename to save; -R,--remote-time is like wget -N,--timestamping and uses the remote file modified time stamp if available; --remote-name-all enables -O for all URLs specified in the command. Note that curl will only download into the current directory and never overwrites existing files, whereas wget supports -P,--directory-prefix=prefix, and wget requires -nc,--no-clobber to suppress version suffixing the file names of, or overwriting, existing files depending on other options specified. -- Take care.
