Hi,
Did I really write "-V" ? :)
Sorry, must have been on something.

Yes, curl -O <url> is the right way.

Some of the UNIX stuff could
be useful indeed once you find
how much software is already
installed on your machine.

I found out one can even save
Windows media streams onto your HD,
in OS X if You have developer tools installed,
just download the source for asfrecorder,
compile (no porting necessary) and fire
away!
