Just because it took me ages to figure some of this out as –help is HUGE and doesn’t contain some of the options.

-c

Continue a Download

-r / --recursive

Recursive download

-L / --relative

relative Links only

--no-check-certificate

Don’t check the SSL certificate

--limit-rate=

Limit the rate of download ie 100k

Usage:

wget -c -r -L --no-check-certificate --limit-rate=100k http://example.com/file

or

wget -c --recursive --relative --no-check-certificate --limit-rate=100k http://example.com/file
