Yes, the curl tool switches off progress bars when the output is sent to
stdout, as otherwise it would mix with and ruin the file download. If you use
-o or -O to direct the download to a file, you'll see the progress bar
properly.

A quote from the manual:

          time_connect The time, in seconds, it took from the
                         start until the connect to the remote
                         host (or proxy) was completed.

This truly means the connect ONLY. That is the time from you invoke the
command until it has connected to the remote host. As you specified IP number
only, no time was wasted on a DNS resolve and thus, only the TCP connect
phase was needed and that took 0.001 seconds (give or take your system's
inaccuracy).

If you use 'time_total' I bet you'll get a result that is closer to the one
you get with time.
