This is generally to run a wget command on a remote box and leave it to finish the downloading.\\
So on the command prompt.\\
<code>
>screen wget -c http://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/file.xxx
</code>

So now you see the download start to happen..

To detach, press ''Ctrl-A'' then ''d''\\

Later when logged back into the remote box, type\\
<code>
screen -ls
</code>
when you should see a ''There is a screen on:'' etc\\

You can then reattach to that screen by typing\\
<code>
screen -r screen.id
</code>
where screen.id is the first group of characters after you typed ''screen -ls''\\

**PS** Some manuals put it as ''Ctr-x'' to reattach and there is no need for a screen.id if there is only one screen process.


Type ''exit'' to terminate the screen session and return to your previous window or press ''Ctrl-D''.

---

If you accidentally created screens and just want to stop all of them\\
You can use :\\
<code>pkill -15 screen</code>
or\\
<code>killall -15 screen</code>
