And this is what I got in return

'#' is missing! :-(

Does it has anything to do with this?

=======================================================
-o/--output <file>

Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch multiple documents, you
can use '#' followed by a number in the <file> specifier. That variable will be replaced with the
current string for the URL being fetched. Like in:

   curl http://{one,two}.site.com -o "file_#1.txt"

or use several variables like:

   curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o "#1_#2"

You may use this option as many times as you have number of URLs.

See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories dynamically.
