several options:
Put it in the background and make sure it doesn't respond to the Hang-Up signal: $ nohup wget http://your.download.location/something.file & Or, you can use a program called 'screen': $ screen $ wget http://your.download.location/something.file Once your download starts, tell screen to disconnect by typing Ctrl-a Ctrl-d. The job will continue to run and you may log out. You may reconnect at a later time and type 'screen -r' to reconnect. See the screen man page for more info. |
