You can try Simple cURL to ease up the process.

Simple cURL is an AppleScript Studio app that will use cURL to download files.

You open it, paste the URL and click Download, and the file is saved to your Desktop. You can resume as well.

You can also send the command to the Terminal, instead of downloading from the app itself. This saves quite a few CPU cycles, because the progress bar seems to suck up a lot of CPU. I haven't been able to fix this yet.

If you keep it in your Dock, click to open, paste URL, check "Send to Terminal" and click Download.

Done.

No more opening the Terminal and typing 'curl -O etc....'

I always download QT files like this.
