user111930: I just installed Bitcoin Core through brew on my mac.
The blockchain is now downloading but it's slowing down, so I would like to restart it.
Can I abort the process and restart it and will it pick up from the last block?
Or will it start from scratch again?

user111930: Ok, I just open anoter terminal window and do:
bitcoin-cli stop
