​Hello Anant and Shirish,

I was trying using the following command:
$ curl http://downloads.hamaralinux.org/final/hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso -o
hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso

​and when I am using same command with ubuntu its downloading the ubuntu
image but not the hamara iso. Its simply return me to prompt.

Hamara Image:
*curl http://downloads.hamaralinux.org/final/hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso
<http://downloads.hamaralinux.org/final/hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso> -o
hamara_1.0.3_amd64.iso*
*  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
 Current*
*                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left
 Speed*
*100   270  100   270    0     0    512      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--
511*

But in case of Ubuntu image:
*curl http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.3/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
<http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.3/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso> -o
ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso*
*  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
 Current*
*                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left
 Speed*
*  0 1006M    0 41354    0     0  19527      0 15:00:20  0:00:02 15:00:18
19534*



Shirish thanks for the curl command for ignoring certificate problem, In
wget I used --no-check-certificate and wget was also working with this
option before Anant has fixed something in webserver. Now, after fixing
that problem in case of wget download is working without -no-check-certificate
option but still curl is not able to download with default options.

Thanks
