I noticed this with mega.co.nz and I hate it, they do all the downloading with javascript then start an actual browser download (which is just copying from localstorage to your download directory) which finishes in an instant but I have to remain on the page now.

I don't think it would be possible to use curl for mega because it has to locally decrypt the stream first. I do remember using a (now deprecated) python library that wrapped the mega api [0] a while ago, so that might interest you if you want to do everything from the command line.
