Could you build this?
Partial A multi-connection Windows download manager is systems work that is hard to get right by vibe coding alone. Video quality and track extraction also depends on constantly maintained site-specific extractors.
What it would actually take: The stack would be Rust or C++ with HTTP range requests, segmented writes, and resume logic that checks file versions, plus a browser extension to detect media. The hard parts are robust resume and integrity handling and an ongoing extractor library like yt-dlp that breaks whenever sites change. That requires a systems programmer and sustained maintenance.
