That depends on your operating system.

curl really doesn't do anything special, but it has the file opened for
reading during the entire transfer, which for some operating systems (like
Linux and other *nix versions) will mean that it can continue reading it until
completion.

Other operating systems (like Windows) will instead refuse to remove the file
while an application has it opened.
