Using wget we can resume the download of partially downloaded files with the continue option specified as either -c or --continue. This will only download what is required and will not re-download files that have already been fully downloaded.

$ wget --continue https://example.com/paper.pdf

This is equivalent to the simpler:

$ wget -c https://example.com/paper.pdf
