Partial The proxy, hosts manager, resumable mirror, and control GUI are codeable, but the core value is understanding an undocumented game texture-streaming protocol, which requires reverse engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack is a local HTTP/HTTPS loopback proxy, a hosts-file manager, a resumable downloader, and a GUI. The hard part is reverse engineering how the game requests and validates streamed textures, which means traffic capture, protocol analysis, and possibly binary inspection. That requires experience with network debugging and reverse engineering tools, plus legal awareness about what is being mirrored.
