Linux, how to continue stopped Chrome file download

If you download something from the net and download stops when your connection is lost or you close the chrome web browser in Linux, you can actually continue download with a terminal. I use Google Chrome web browser, but it may work with others too.

It is useful when you download large files. In Linux, we can use terminal and couple of commands. Open a terminal and paste these commands.

cd ~/Downloads
ls *.crdownload


In my case, I download this file, with that title.

FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso.crdownload

Next, open a file manager and go to the Download folder, find the file and delete this extension .crdownload

In my case

FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

Next open Chrome and find the file in downloads list and Copy Link Address. Now back to the terminal and write the command and paste the link address.

wget --continue ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

Write wget --continueand paste the link, next wait when is downloaded 100 % and that's is how to download a stopped download.
