True. wget would have been ideal for large downloads. But sometimes, due to the login requirements, say for instance, a google takeout archive, wget does not work and one is forced to rely on the browser being able to continue a large download in the background. > > Firefox generates events in response to connection changes in > NetworkManager: > <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/onLine> In this case, the network state is not changing. Other applications, including wget, continue uninterrupted across vt-switches (Screen lock or User switching or Ctrl+Alt+Fn). Sometimes, the firefox gui is also a bit sluggish after returning from a vt-swtich, almost as if it were resumed from an earlier CTRL-Z. If running firefox through vnc, this issue doesn't occur.
