Thanks for your hints.  But you can see the following explanations in the 
curl documentation:

-O/--remote-name   Write output to a file named as the remote file

Furthermore, in my case the destination folder, i.e, ./miktex/setup/, 
already exists there, so I shouldn't trouble the --create-dirs option.  I 
only want to put the setup-2.9.4321.exe in the destination folder without 
giving the destination filename, i.e, let curl use the filename appeared 
in the remote site/webpage to name the downloaded file automatically.  
Any hints for my purpose?
