What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

An AFNetworking subclass providing progressive, resumable file downloads for iOS, with temporary-file handling and accurate progress reporting. It is explicitly deprecated and no longer maintained in favor of NSURLSession.

Use cases

  • resume partial large file downloads on iOS
  • download large PDFs progressively with progress callbacks
  • download files to a temporary directory with AFNetworking
  • show accurate download progress across resumed downloads

When to avoid

  • starting a new iOS project - use NSURLSession instead
  • you need maintained or supported code
  • your project uses modern networking stacks like URLSession or Alamofire
