Increase the time a bit, it looks like sometimes it takes more time to download curl --max-time 2 https://youcantdownloadthisimage.online/lisa.jpg > lisa.jpg

Nevermind, looks like MobaXterm shell provides a non-standard curl implementation:

$ which curl

curl: aliased to _tob curl

After installing curl with apt-get it works.

I hate it when people do that. You can wonder for hours why something obvious doesn't work as it should and in the end discover someone decided to implement something substandard, often for no good reason.
