Use curl.exe if it exists #21

Use curl.exe in preference to System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile if it exists in the path

I was looking into advantages of using curl over System.Net.WebClient and so far I did not decide to include it. Did you want to include it for some specific reason or just as the alternative ?

Mainly because Curl includes download retry features that - as far as I know - System.Net.WebClient does not.
