Haul is a download manager for Windows (macOS coming soon). It splits each file across up to 32 connections, picks up where it left off after dropped Wi-Fi, sleep or a reboot, and catches downloads straight from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and four more browsers, logins included. It saves video streams as one MP4, runs queues on a schedule and caps its speed when you need the bandwidth. Free for 1 Month only.

No Building a robust desktop download manager requires deep low-level systems programming, native socket handling for multi-segmented HTTP downloads, browser extension native messaging, and video stream sniffing (HLS/DASH parsing).
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a systems language like C++, Rust, or Go with a desktop GUI framework (e.g., Qt, Tauri, or Electron). It needs custom multi-threaded chunked HTTP range request engines with socket connection reuse, persistent disk state management for crash recovery, and browser extension native messaging hosts to intercept stream manifests across multiple browser engines.
