I guess using the `-L` option for curl should do the trick: ``` $ curl -JLO "https://mirrors.centos.org/mirrorlist?path=/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso&redirect=1&protocol=https" ``` as for wget, it follows redirects automagically, but you can add `--content-disposition` into the mix to get the "correct" filename: ``` $ wget --content-disposition "https://mirrors.centos.org/mirrorlist?path=/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso&redirect=1&protocol=https" --2021-11-10 18:57:03-- https://mirrors.centos.org/mirrorlist?path=/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso&redirect=1&protocol=https Resolving mirrors.centos.org (mirrors.centos.org)... 18.185.136.17, 18.159.254.57, 18.133.140.134, ...
