I am running debian Squeeze in console mode on a plug computer. I control it opening an SSH session from a Windows machine, on the same local network.

I started downloading a large file using wget.

What I get is a console progress bar showing the percentage of data downloaded, file size, and download rate.

When I close the session, debian is still running and downloading. Fine.

But When I close and reopen a session, how can see which amount of data was downloaded, using a linux command ?

thanks.

You probably want to use a program like screen or tmux to preserve your remote terminal sessions while you're not connected.

To answer "how can see which amount of data was downloaded, using a linux command?" only, in the download directory use any of the follow

ls -l
ls -s
ls -sh <download filename>

That will show you the file size already download/written to your disk.

wget normally logs its output to the wget-log file in the download directory. To display this file and its changes, execute the following command in the download directory:

$ tail -f wget-log
