Pause and Resume Wget Downloads
There are many download managers to choose from to manage your downloads, but wget is arguably the best one. Wget is a linux command line utility to manage all types of downloads. Whenever you need to download any files of any size or need to use the ftp protocol, wget is an excellent choice. You can pause and resume wget downloads at any time to your convenience. You can also use wget to get the file download size without actually downloading the file. This can come in handy to compare file sizes before downloading.
