Could you build this?
Partial The native macOS UI is easily vibe-coded, but implementing the Direct Connect (NMDC/ADC) P2P protocol, segmented multi-source downloads, and Tiger Tree Hashing requires low-level networking code.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native Swift or C++ core that implements NMDC and ADC P2P protocols, managing concurrent TCP/UDP sockets across dozens of hubs and peers. The hard part is building an efficient multi-source chunked file downloader that calculates and verifies Tiger Tree Hashes (TTH) on the fly without memory bloat or disk I/O bottlenecks.
