## Useful for

- Speed up large file downloads by splitting them into multiple parallel HTTP requests
- Capture a browser download and hand it to the manager with cookies and Referer preserved
- Download a video from a web page using the bundled yt-dlp with ffmpeg merging

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 10:12–12:33: 129 → 130 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 130 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #197.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 9
- Issues and pull requests: 6
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 45 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v1.3.0 (2026-10-11)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
