curl corrupting terminal When I try to view the zip file with `curl` the terminal is corrupted. And after that all the character we typed cannot be recognized as they will be shown as unrecognizable Unicode. I curl the zip below: curl I am asking as I'm curious about this. How is this happening?

When using `curl` like that, it will output the contents of the Zip-file to the terminal (`curl` writes to standard output by default). This may well corrupt the terminal, just as when you `cat` a compressed file or any other binary file.

To save the file, use `curl -O ...`. This will save the file with its original name (`stuff.zip`) in the current directory.

To save it with another name, use either `curl -o newname ...` or `curl ... >newname`.
