Right, as long as you have a proper URL, not something like:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/embed-cdt/packages/2020-09/eclipse-embedcdt-2020-09-R-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.tar.gz

Although I don't exclude these use cases, I seriously doubt that someone would 
prefer to do this, instead of simply downloading via the browser and removing 
the quarantine bit, as recommended in the Download page.
