Tim here. For large file downloads? Using curl & wget are likely about the same for the stock usage. However, for multiple files, you can use curl's "--parallel" and "--parallel-max" options to download multiple files at the same time. The curl blog mentions other tools that do "same file splitting" https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2019/07/22/curl-goez-parallel/ but doesn't mention any particular such utilities by name. -Tim On February 22, 2021, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Has curl got any speed advantage for large file downloads compared > to wget? > I know about axel and want to leave axel out of this comparison > since some web sites block axel though for large files when axel > can be used it's well worth the time savings. > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
