My question is more like if there is any specific reason, or did you just start from bottom?
What perhaps happened is: the output of
curl is "counting upwards" like
scp,
yum and a lot of other tools. They do this by not sending a line break at the end of the line but a simple "carriage return" without a line feed, so they are overwriting one and the same line over and over again. For a log file this is just one long line and the updated numbers are different fields. If you do a longer download you will probably find the different fields over and over again,as they are updated during the download every seond or something such.
Try using "tr" to revert the carriage returns to real nextline characters and you have lines which should be fairly easy to parse.
I hope this helps.

col
COL(1) BSD General Commands Manual COL(1)
NAME
col -- filter reverse line feeds from input
SYNOPSIS
col [-bfhpx] [-l num]
DESCRIPTION
The col utility filters out reverse (and half reverse) line feeds so that the output is in the correct order with only forward and half for-
ward line feeds, and replaces white-space characters with tabs where possible. This can be useful in processing the output of nroff(1) and
tbl(1).
The col utility reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output.
The options are as follows:
-b Do not output any backspaces, printing only the last character written to each column position.
-f Forward half line feeds are permitted (``fine'' mode). Normally characters printed on a half line boundary are printed on the fol-
lowing line.
-h Don't output multiple spaces instead of tabs (default).
-l num Buffer at least num lines in memory. By default, 128 lines are buffered.
-p Force unknown control sequences to be passed through unchanged. Normally, col will filter out any control sequences from the input
other than those recognized and interpreted by itself, which are listed below.
-x Output multiple spaces instead of tabs.
The control sequences for carriage motion that col understands and their decimal values are listed in the following table:
ESC-7 reverse line feed (escape then 7)
ESC-8 half reverse line feed (escape then 8)
ESC-9 half forward line feed (escape then 9)
backspace moves back one column (8); ignored in the first column
carriage return (13)
newline forward line feed (10); also does carriage return
shift in shift to normal character set (15)
shift out shift to alternate character set (14)
space moves forward one column (32)
tab moves forward to next tab stop (9)
vertical tab reverse line feed (11)
All unrecognized control characters and escape sequences are discarded.
The col utility keeps track of the character set as characters are read and makes sure the character set is correct when they are output.
If the input attempts to back up to the last flushed line, col will display a warning message.
SEE ALSO
expand(1), nroff(1), tbl(1)
STANDARDS
The col utility conforms to Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'').
HISTORY
A col command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
