Hey Scott, what about the following workflow, using that curl try:
if the url is HTTPS try: curl -v -k -X HEAD <your URL> this will just send back the header portion of a call to that url. This is good because you have the Content-Lenght and then you can later call: curl -v -k <your URL> and monitor the file size as it grows to match Content-Lenght. It's not the best way to monitor a file transfer but you could use a mix of that and a send in time to check for timeouts if the file does not grow as often as it should. if the url is FTPS use: curl -v -k -X SIZE <your FTP URL> Not all servers support the SIZE call. You mileage may vary. I think your best option is using HTTPS and and HEAD request to learn the file size prior to downloading it. Does this helps you?
