Javascript anyone?

This has got javascript + Safari written all over it ala this hint.

I don't know javascript from a hole in the ground, but would appreciate it if someone who did provided a curl solution here! Perhaps a contextual menu add on, "Download with curl", for right-clicked links?

Try using OnMyCommand (free.abracode.com) to create contextual menuitems for nifty CLI commands such as 'curl -O'. It's a great utility for adding unix-powered contextual menuitems. Or maybe one of the Konfabulator people has a similar widget.

In my shell (bash), I alias wget='curl -# -O' (the -# option gives a nice progress bar). This way, any CLI programs which rely on wget continue to work properly, even though I haven't installed the wget package.
