That is a good question. I ran through the download wizard a few times and it gave plausible answers for win32 and win64. I did not test them, but I can if you think that's a worthwhile exercise.
I also tried the download wizard for osx and it linked me to an external site (fink), and the download links were very finely grained for osx version, but they did not work. So I looked closer, and on OSX I am using /usr/bin/curl which I think means it came from apple. Double checking (brew info curl) gave me this note: macOS already provides this software and installing another version in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble. So probably best to not install curl on osx. Similarly, for linux, it's probably best to use a native curl. Does this help?
