iperf3 question

Hey everyone,
I need some help regarding testing server bandwidth with iperf3. I'm not sure how to download the file that the company provides using iperf3.
Here's an example:
iperf3 -4 -c lg.terrahost.com -p 9200 -P 4
The file is located on the server at this address:
https://lg.terrahost.com/1G.bin
I know that we need to use the -F flag to download the file, but I'm struggling to make it work.
Can you please help me with this?

why not just
iperf3 -4 -c lg.terrahost.com -p 9200 -P 4and thenwget -O /dev/null https://lg.terrahost.com/1G.bin?I haven't used iperf a lot but from i remember you don't download any files but connected to a dedicated iperv service.
Yeah there’s no file downloading involved.
File download through http and iperf3 - two different, unrelated things.
Technically without the -R(everse) that iperf would be in upload for the transfer.
