TIL, #linux has a couple cli #downloader options that are faster than wget like Axel. Axel wasn't that much faster than #wget for me, so then I found aria2; much more powerful and reliable, and faster too: https://github.com/aria2/aria2

And it's available in Linux software repos like Debian. Niice.

GitHub - aria2/aria2: aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.

wget hit like 3MBps.
Axel hit like 4MBps.
Aria2 *Some napkin math later* on my connection averaged 50MBps.

No special arguments, just default settings. Program name and URL arg.
