wget: Setting Download Method to “wget -c”

The wget::wget_set() function will change the default behavior of ‘download.file’. The download method will be changed to using “wget -c” so that continued downloading will be supported. User can run wget::wget_unset() to restore previous setting.

All platforms including Linux, MacOS and Windows are supported.


What you need is to run the wget::wget_set() function. Then download.file(), install.packages() and BiocManager::install() will all support continue retrival.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
