You can stop downloading a file from wget just by pressing ctrl + c in the terminal.
Only press Ctrl+C when you are downloading.
Wget is the non-interactive network downloader which is used to download files from the server even when the user has not logged on to the system and it can work in the background without hindering the current process.
What shell are you running wget from? In many shells, CTRL+C will cancel the currently-running process. If you are running a Linux shell, pkill -9 wget should be able to force-kill it if it's running in the background.
