If the user removes app from the background, system won't wake it up to allow app to continue downloading.

Updated

App is woken up only if it was terminated or suspended by the system. This is not the case when user does this. Apple considers that if user kills app, he doesn't want it to be running anymore.

The author of the HWFileDownload is already said is not possible.

https://github.com/Heikowi/HWIFileDownload#force-quit

As said by other answers you need to do it by your self, if your webserver allowed to resume download then you can continue with the downloading.

If web server supports Partial content and you implement proper business logic, then it's more than possible
