To be sure the manual is a good read.....
The issue came when using two codes (-d and -o)
whether the codes come together at the beginning
(-d -o) with the filename immediately following,
and then the HTTP URL which did not work; OR
to supply the -d code followed by the HTTP URL
then the -o code followed by the filename; which did
work.

If you want to specify the filename yourself, just put it after the -o
parameter like this: curl -o MyLocalFileName http://Some.Web.Server

Or, you can use the uppercase -O parameter, and it will automatically give
the returned file the name from the server.

You should probably read through the curl manual.
