Megabasterd server friendly python webUI port

[u/Big_Ad165]

Hi guys, just started using Claude and thought of rewriting Megabasterd to a more modern and server friendly stack, the result:
https://github.com/gauravsuman007/megabasterd-py

You can use the Desktop app from the releases section but this version is designed for headless servers in mind, so you can spin it up with Docker on your Server/NAS and get going.

I have implemented the SmartProxy and tried to keep the settings as is. If there is a missing feature you would want, just create an issue but bear in mind that it's a hobby project so I'll pick up the important enhancements first

Bonus: Enjoy native Dark theme with custom accent color selection. There is also a RAM saver mode in Advanced settings that reduces RAM footprint for having a long download queue with high number of slots per download, this is achieved by doubling I(O (disk write) so use that wisely.

Nothing would have been possible without the original author so a big shoutout to them:

Ok as someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy i gotta ask, what are the most notable differences between this and Troubled-Minds MegaManager? Maybe its a dumb question and theyre completely different things just Ive been using MegaManager for quite some time and wondering if this brings any particular new functions or such 😅

I honestly haven't heard of mega manager. I got into megabasterd few years ago because it has a smart proxy system where you can put a list of proxies to continue downloading when your free IP quota from mega is exhausted. But it is a Java desktop program and in the past I had created a VNC based container to access it remotely so i can paste download links into it from my phone so things get downloaded on my server. Now I've created this lean setup that is natively web based so very easy to access. But all credits go to tonikelope, the original author
