+MULTIPLE TRANSFERS WITH A SINGLE COMMAND LINE
+
+  As is mentioned above, you can download multiple files with one command line
+  by simply adding more URLs. If you want those to get saved to a local file
+  instead of just printed to stdout, you need to add one save option for each
+  URL you specify. Note that this also goes for the -O option.
+
+  For example: get two files and use -O for the first and a custom file
+  name for the second:
+
+    curl -O http://url.com/file.txt ftp://ftp.com/moo.exe -o moo.jpg
+
+  You can also upload multiple files in a similar fashion:
