How to download with wget in many consoles in Linux?

I use wget. It is cool in many ways., but I have a big website I want to download. When I do it in one console, after breaking connection, wget remembers where he stopped and continues. I wonder if I open 10 consoles and download at the same time, will it be still possible, cause wget from console 1 will not know that wget 2 downloaded already the file. How to download not 10 days my website, but instead in 2 days only?

Update:

I was thinking it was possible, because if he remembers then somewhere needs to be some trace to use it again or parallell. You were chosen! Thanks.

    wget accepts wildcards so use different wildcards in each parallel running.

    You can run application in the background in a shell.

    you can do a

    wget <options> <url> &

    to throw the process into the background

    you can also hit Crtl+Z, which suspends the process, and then commit it the the backgound with bg.
