 1. Without `-L`, curl doesn't follow redirects.  This is different than
    both the default behavior of pacman, and from the wget example.  So add
    `-L`.

 2. It uses `-C -` to supposedly allow resuming partial downloads; but that
    doesn't work if we use `> %o` to direct the output to the file.
    Instead, use `-o %o` so that `-C -` actually works.
