Long: retry-delay Arg: Help: Wait time between retries Added: 7.12.3 Category: curl Example: --retry-delay 5 --retry $URL --- Make curl sleep this amount of time before each retry when a transfer has failed with a transient error (it changes the default backoff time algorithm between retries). This option is only interesting if --retry is also used. Setting this delay to zero will make curl use the default backoff time. If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
