If I send curl to the background to free up my terminal window while it downloads something, its update/status text still refreshes in the window as if I never sent it to the background. Does anyone know how to send curl (or wget) to the background and keep its status text from refreshing?

use the silent option for curl: curl -s
or use the quiet option for wget: wget -q
That help?

Or you just do it hard-core UNIX way: add
"> /dev/null"
without quotes to the end. Shuts up any program...

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

#> ./programname > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Otherwise, your shell could still get cluttered with error messages.
