## What it is
A lightweight Java library for Android that performs multi-threaded HTTP file downloads with pause/resume support and progress tracking. It handles URL redirection, falls back to single-threaded downloads when servers lack range support, and persists download state in a database.

## Use cases
- download large files in an android app with multiple threads
- pause and resume file downloads on android
- show download progress in the status bar
- download files over http with url redirection support
- persist download progress across app restarts
- java library for multi-threaded downloading on android

## When to choose
- you need a small, dependency-free download manager for an older Android project
- you want multi-threaded downloads with pause/resume and progress callbacks in Java
- your app targets very old Android APIs since it requires only API 1

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with recent updates or security patches
- your project uses Kotlin and modern Android download APIs like WorkManager
- you need HTTPS certificate pinning or advanced networking features
- you require a license file for compliance since the repo lacks one
