Control-C is cancel in the UNIX world. Also, Apple mapped "esc" to Control-C.

The problem I found with wget is that once the command was executed, it carried forth on its own, downloading the site without interference in the background. Ctrl-C was attempted to no avail. Re-booting seemed to stop this, but it started up after a few minutes of going back online. Not having a utility to shut down the port it was using, I shut down again. That stopped it - finally.

I did go through a number of pictures that were on the site. Picture after picture of people sitting at a board room table. I just ended up trashing the 20 or so megs of stuff I had downed.
