Wget is a utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.
When downloading files using wget, you may experience that a download is interrupted, e.g. because of network and/or power related issues. Especially, when downloading large files, this may become problematic, because, when you re-issue the wget command to download a large file, it will start from the beginning again.
However... there is a "--continue" option available for wegt, to continue getting a partially downloade file. This is useful when you want to finish a download started by a previous instance of wget. Make sure you run the wget command with the --continue option in the same directory where the first download started.
For example:
# wget --continue https://repo.almalinux.org/8/isos/x86_64/AlmaLinux-8.3-x86_64-dvd.iso
