what is the proper way to download a file...wait for it to

No simple way, I think. You do have to read first the info about
the file to get its size (curl -I), then poll until the downloaded
file's size reaches that value.
Stuff and nonsense. curl(1) shouldn't return until it's done
downloading. Works for me.
Certainly not very kindly said, but true. Apologies for any trouble
induced. I hope that my ", I think" suggests that the interested
reader should check.
