I dumped it into a file out of habit, which sort of ruined the effect. I did wonder why a ~300 line textfile took so long to DL, though.

  Any hacks you can think of to detect this from the server?

    Curl is not going to send different request headers to the server based on whether its stdout is redirected to a file.

    Start out by sending dummy data as fast as you can. Once you've sent a few TB you can be relatively confident that it's going to a terminal instead of a file (which would have filled up the disk by now). Then you can start slowly sending the real data.
