thanks a lot!

i found the problem. the difference is u use "-o /dev/null" while i use
"> /dev/null"

if i execute

# curl -s -w "%{speed_download}%{time_total}\n" --range 0-100
http://ele.uri.edu > /dev/null

the nothing will come out since -s kill the regular output and -w goes
to stdout!

i am think if the -w is specified, should this goto stderr as same as
the normal print which can be turn off by -s? (i did not read the code
but a 2>/dev/null confirm my guess)

one usage here is people might need use pipe to process the fetched
content while use another pipe to process the performance data. so mix
them might not be a good idea. :P
