click on yes

Suppose it is named XX.crdownload (XX represents any name) and the file you are downloading is a kaspersky internet security. and the name would be "kis15.0.2.361en-in.exe" after the download was over. so you now have rename XX.crdownload to kis15.0.2.361en-in.exe

Now Open command prompt with admin rights if you installed it in the default location or you can just run command prompt if you choose some other path. navigate to  the bin folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\wget\bin\)

run wget -c URL, where url is the url of the download location you can find this in chrome download page or just press Ctrl+J copy that and paste it in place of url
