How to continue a download from where it left off?

Using google chrome, I started a download. It took 2 hours to get to the last minute, and then, at that last minute it got interrupted. Is there any way I can continue the download starting with what it had already downloaded? Or am I going to have to re-download the entire thing?

"wget -c url_leading_to_the_file" run in the directory with the file would resume its download, if the server supports it.

You can use wget to resume the download:

wget -c <url> -O <filename>

To get the URL, right-click the "Retry download" link of the download in chrome://downloads. Filename is name of the file to download + "crdownload", ie. ganttproject-2.0.10.zip.crdownload

Please note that in order for this to work, the server must support resuming downloads.
