wget in background

I've done it before but I can't seem to find the command in the manual pages. What is the command to execute wget in the background for downloading?

Use the -b option to run it in background. I also like to use the -c option which will allow you to resume broken downloads:

Code:

# wget -cb <file>

Yeah, I had the bright idea to read the man page shortly after I posted this.
