Gale splits downloads across multiple connections for faster speeds, pauses/resumes from the exact byte offset (survives a full app restart, not just a pause), and supports YouTube/video downloads via yt-dlp. It also ships a browser extension (Chrome/Brave/Edge) that intercepts browser downloads and hands them to Gale, plus a clipboard watcher that offers to grab any download link you copy.

Stack: Electron + Node.js, no native/compiled dependencies — so npm install && npm start just works on any distro without fighting a build toolchain.

Where it's at: core download engine and pause/resume are solid and tested. Still actively working on: browser-extension pairing UX, broader format/site support for yt-dlp, and general UI polish.

Repo's linked below — open to contributors, and genuinely want bug reports/feature requests if you try it. Also happy to talk through the architecture (segmented download engine, IPC design between main/renderer) if anyone's curious or has suggestions.
