I know almost nothing about networking. In recent years in FreeDOS (under
VM), I've only used Wget because Curl never worked properly for me. Yes,
that old one is the latest one packaged for us (unfortunately), but perhaps
we should bundle a newer version.

Latest Curl is 7.64.0, built by Michael Kostylev (no surprise) with DJGPP,
and it seems to work fine for me, in limited testing. Check the official
site for download link (curl.haxx.se).

But I'm not in contact with him, don't know any details, so I haven't 100%
verified nor vetted the sources nor rebuilt it myself. So it's not mirrored
to iBiblio for us yet. (Not that we're perfectionists or pros, but we try
anyways. We never saw any such problems, so your worries about ransomware
may be unwarranted. But maybe I'm naive.)

I had already downloaded sources, and I did intend to weakly try rebuilding
this, but things like this are rarely easy. Feel free to try yourself!
