However, I was just willing to download a large file with multiple concurrent connections on a single path, as many download mangers with GUI provide so.
Not sure, whether wget provides this, but just found a good one.
aria2c
however, its name was so confusing and odd one, I just did a quick ln -s and made it more familiar.
and here is what I did.
# aria2c -s 5 -c http://the-download-url
where -s 5 is for 5 concurrent connections-c is for continuing what I downloaded using wget.
and for more easier name of the command.
# sudo ln -s /usr/bin/aria2c /usr/bin/download
so its now the following
# download -s 5 -c http://link-to-download-from-web
and this is the general output format for aria2c
WOW
