It is because the window is not wide enough to display the download status. This is just how curl works.

@DHowett Could the command line spam be fixed, though?

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Mar 23, 2021):

No. It is a direct result of curl not having enough space to print the status bar.

The way curl prints the status bar is by sending the cursor to the beginning of the line and printing a long line of text.

When the line wraps, the first step ("go to beginning of line") gets the beginning of the wrapped portion of the line.

It then just... does that over and over again.

This is how it was implemented by curl the open-source project. It is not special for the Windows version of curl.

If you want to suppress the spam, use curl -s (or --silent)
