Partial The queue UI, browser capture extension, and media-tool wrappers are vibe-codeable, but a robust multi-connection downloader with verified resume and torrent support takes deep networking and protocol work to get right.
What it would actually take: Architecture would be a native or Electron shell over a download engine with segmented HTTP range requests, integrity verification, and libtorrent for BitTorrent, plus yt-dlp for media and a Chromium/Firefox extension. The hard parts are reliable resume, checksum verification, and handling site-specific extraction breakage, which needs ongoing maintenance.
