macOS – Terminal Process Stopped When MacBook Pro Was Closed and Opened

command linemacosterminal

I am installing files from a website using wget in Terminal and when I closed and reopened my Mac, the download stopped. Is there a way to start it again?

Assuming you installed wget from MacPorts or HomeBrew (it doesn't come preinstalled on macOS), you can resume a download using the -c or --continue flag.

$ wget -c http://foo.bar
$ wget --continue http://foo.bar
