Could you build this?
Partial Building a client UI for multi-part HTTP downloading is straightforward, but robust multi-path TCP or socket-level network interface binding requires low-level OS networking code.
What it would actually take: The core engine needs to bind distinct TCP connections to explicit local network interfaces (e.g., using `SO_BINDTODEVICE` on Linux/macOS or `IP_UNICAST_IF` on Windows). It must coordinate segmented HTTP byte-range requests across variable latency/bandwidth adapters, dynamically rebalancing chunks when one connection stalls. Built using Go or Rust with low-level socket manipulation and a desktop frontend (Tauri or Electron).
