command-line process kill background-process job-control

                          I have started a wget on remote machine in background using &. Suddenly it stops downloading. I want to terminate its process, then re-run the command. How can I terminate it?

I haven't closed its shell window. But as you know it doesn't stop using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z.
