Continue a partial download with wget

Ever tried to download a large file on a spotty wifi connection, only to see your browser stop half way?

Old skool* unix tool wget to the rescue!

wget -c http://example.com/file.zip

Just make sure you're in the directory where your partial file download already exists, and pass the -c flag which means "continue."

*OK, so apparently it's not that old.
