Based on what you have in your reply, it looks like that line got  
broken along the line between the curl -O and the rest of it.

Did it say something like this?

"dbdev2:~ johnson$ curl -O
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
dbdev2:~ johnson$ 
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/releases/Camino-1.0.6.dmg 
"

If so that's the issue.

All of that stuff:

curl -O http:...

needs to be on a single line. It will wrap as you're typing it, unless  
the terminal window is stretched, but that is ok.

If you type it out by hand, that -O is a capital letter O, not a zero.

Also, on second thought, as ancient as it is, IE has GOT to be able to  
manage this URL:

<http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/releases/Camino-1.0.6.dmg

here's the same link tinyurl-ized:
