That did the trick!

curl -L -v --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) 
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0" --connect-timeout 20 
https://www.eset.com/us/home/internet-security/download/#download-manually 
--output eraseme4.html


Without the user agent, I got a return of about a thousand
web site addresses.  The site was messing with me when I
used the default curl user agent because it though I was
a bot.

Thank you all for the help!
