[SOLVED] wget -c and Firefox *.part Download

wagscat123 · 06-10-2019, 01:47 PM

Hi all,

I just have a quick little question - will wget -c continue without corrupting if I use it to continue download a partially downloaded file in Firefox?

Tis all!

Maybe.
Please review the documentation about -c in the man page to see which variables might (or might not) apply.
man wget

axel is a little cli downloader that is fast and I do think it picks up where it left off, yes.

This ended up not being important, so I just looked into it now out of curiosity.

I just tried it - renamed the *.part file to the actual download name and ran wget -c to the same download URL, and it downloaded okay! The checksums matched!
