Stealing this, but had to lookup the parameters. It does work, but it should be `-C -` with a space. Also I like progress bars so my alias for now is:

  curl -#JLOC -

* -# Progress bar instead of the standard meter

* -J Use the server-specified Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL

* -L Follow redirects

* -O Write output to a local file (download)

* -C - Resume transfers

Maybe a good mnemonic would be something along the lines of jlo liking hashtags?
