Hi,

I tried to use curl for aggregate downloads. The following
works as expected and dowloads the tab-delimited file:

<quote>
itayf@cezanne 217|0> curl http://pga.gs.washington.edu/data/pon1/pons1.csnps.txt -o pons1.csnps.txt
</quote>

But when I try to download several such files the expansions
'[1-3]' and '{csnps,snpcontext}' fail:

<quote>
itayf@cezanne 218|0> curl 'http://pga.gs.washington.edu/data/pon[1-3]/pons[1-3].{csnps,snpcontext}.txt' -o "pon#1.#2.txt"

[1/18]: http://pga.gs.washington.edu/data/pond/ponsd.csnps.txt --> pond.d.txt
   % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr.

What am I doing wrong?
