Could you build this?
No Building a full-featured native macOS download manager with browser intercept extensions, media streaming parsers, and a native BitTorrent client requires low-level system programming and specialized networking protocol implementations.
What it would actually take: The architecture would require a native Swift/Objective-C app interfacing with libtorrent or a custom BitTorrent engine, browser helper objects/native messaging hosts for Chrome/Safari, and video stream extractors (similar to yt-dlp). The hardest challenges are writing multi-threaded chunked download protocols, native macOS networking integration (Network.framework), and continuous maintenance against anti-scraping/streaming obfuscation.
