====== Ubuntu - wget - Continue a wget download ======

Restart a wget download which got stopped in the middle using the **wget -c** option as shown below.

<code bash>
wget -c http://www.openss7.org/repos/tarballs/strx25-0.9.2.1.tar.bz2
</code>

This is very helpful when you have initiated a very big file download which got interrupted in the middle.  Instead of starting the whole download again, you can start the download from where it got interrupted using option **-c**.

**NOTE**: If a download is stopped in middle, when you restart the download again without the option -c, wget will append .1 to the filename automatically as a file with the previous name already exist.  If a file with .1 already exist, it will download the file with .2 at the end.
