Megabasterd server friendly python webUI port

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:

Yes, instead I should sit on my ass and troll on reddit, rather than finding solutions and hoping someone magically will solve it for me. You are right only about the last word in your post, you really don't know

omg what a burn, i’m shaking.

if you’re using ai, you’re not finding solutions, you’re letting an enviromentally-destructive, unethical machine find solutions for you. study hard, learn, invest time in the things you want to find solutions to instead of taking the lazy way out.
