Usage

    curl = getCurlHandle(), ...)

Arguments

id	This is the ID of a paper proposal. You can download all datasets in one turn given the ID.
curl	If using in a loop, call getCurlHandle() first and pass the returned value in here (avoids unnecessary footprint)
...	This are other arguments passed to getURLContent
