If you are downloading a file with the wget command, sometimes you may need to pause it and start it back from the place where you paused rather than starting from the beginning. So you don't have to re-download the entire package. Wget can do this just like downloading from a web browser. Let's say I need to download a file from the web. So I'm using the wget command as follows. Download wget <url for the file> Pause To pause the download just hit ctrl + c the shortcut to terminate the current command. Continue This is going to be the same command but -c switch to continue from the previous download. wget -c <url for the file> Simple as that! Yeah, you can download from a web browser, but this is more fun and easier 😋 If you are lazy like me, wget saves a couple of clicks.
