    Use either -O localfilename or > localfilename, not both. Commented Oct 18, 2013 at 15:57
  • yes, I tried my own way, but because the file is so big. I don't know whether it works until the download finishes. I didn't see any errors when I do curl -O data.cityofchicago.org/api/views/ijzp-q8t2/… > Chicago.csv Commented Oct 18, 2013 at 16:00

    use either curl -o outputfile.csv http://path/to/file or curl http://path/to/file > outputfile.csv. -o <file> Writes output to <file> instead of stdout, -O Writes output to a local file named like the remote file we get. Commented Oct 18, 2013 at 16:19
