Is your goal simply to hide the progress meter so you don't have to see
it on the screen, for example in a batch file? I use a combination of
"--silent" (to hide the progress meter) and "--show-error" to still show
errors. I would assume adding in --stderr "filename" should write out
errors (but not progress meters as they look rather strange in an output
file anyways).

If you are working with a Windows NT or 2000 (or even XP) machine and
not Win9x, you might be able to make use of command line redirection, as
follows:

 To redirect stdout (but not stderr) to a file named output.txt:
   curl "put your curl-parameters here" > output.txt

 To redirect stdout to output.txt and stderr to error.txt:
   curl "your params here" > output.txt 2> error.txt

 To redirect BOTH stdout and stderr to a file named output.txt:
   curl "your params here" > output.txt 2>&1

Cheers!
