Could you build this?

Partial The UI, queueing, scheduler, and browser extensions are vibe-codeable, but segmented multi-connection downloading across platforms and reliable video capture from arbitrary sites are harder pieces.

What it would actually take: The core needs a native downloader engine (likely C++, Rust, or Go) handling HTTP range requests, segment reassembly, and resume, wrapped in a Mac and Windows desktop shell. Video grabbing requires site-specific extraction and stream parsing that breaks often, so it needs ongoing maintenance by engineers with networking and media-format experience.
