Web browsers' and wget use the same HTTP features for resuming downloads (range-requests) so if it works in one it should work in the other. I've never had enough data in a google takeout that it would fail partway though.

In my experience web browsers don't use range requests for resuming downloads, but just start downloads over. Or at least I don't know how to make them resume.
