I promise, just because #curl and #Firefox often behave similarly, it is almost never because I once worked in the Firefox networking team. 🤠

Firefox download status: Downloading 200 KB per second, 2 MB remaining, expected done in 10 seconds.

15 minutes later: Still downloading 200 KB every second, still 2 MB remaining.

Curl, on the other hand, seems trustworthy. If it says the download will be done in 10 seconds, it's either done in 10 seconds, or the download speed will drop to zero.

Firefox and curl never felt similar.

@leeloo they are indeed quite different beasts in the insides. #curl is not C++ spaghetti using a million threads for example. 😁
