cd ~/Desktop curl -LO url The -L says to properly follow redirects and the -O says to extract the filename from the url. The file is placed in the current default directory (the place where you cd'd to). curl -LO http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/ppc64/livecd/installcd-ps3-minimal-20071212-r1.iso Ok.
