# `--skip-existing`

If there is a local file present when a download is requested, the operation
|
||
|
|
is skipped. Note that curl cannot know if the local file was previously
|
||
|
|
downloaded fine, or if it is incomplete etc, it just knows if there is a
|
||
|
|
filename present in the file system or not and it skips the transfer if it is.
