What's the recommended way to to download files (typically over 
http(s) or ftp) from within D? Should I use

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_net_curl.html

or

vibed.org

?

I'm asking because I've read somewhere that there have been 
complaints about the curl wrapper.

The curl one should be easiest for just downloading files. The 
big problems with it are that it can be a pain to get the library 
working with versioning and stuff and that it sometimes does the 
wrong thing in advanced use cases.

But if the curl library works for you at all, doing downloading 
with it is easy.

If you don't want to worry about dependencies on libcurl you can use 
Tango [1] [2]. You can see how I use Tango to download files in DVM [3]

Ok, thanks. And I guess vibe.d can do this aswell without 
external dependencies, right?

Didn't test but I found this:
http://vibed.org/api/vibe.inet.urltransfer/download

Vibe does by default depend on a few other libraries though. 
Libevent, OpenSSL, maybe others..
