I need the script for using wget in a cron job for timed

Tell me exactly what it needs to do, I'll be happy to write you one.
I need to start a dialup connection using wvdial and wget the iso
download. The connection must close before 6 AM.
It is a Reliance FWP Freedom at Night plan where downloads are
unlimited between 10 pm to 6 am. The speed was too slow though on
the first day. I connect using 'sudo wvdial reliance' and manually
give 'sudo route add default ppp0'. Then give 'wget url'. I will
start the download but I need to stop it just before 6 am and wget
should keep the partial file resumable for next day.
script is being written - what is the command to stop the download?
