## What it is
A Swift download manager library for iOS built on URLSession that supports concurrent, background, resumable, pausable, and retryable file downloads. It is distributed via CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager.

## Use cases
- download multiple files concurrently in an ios app
- resume interrupted downloads after app quit
- download large files while app is in background
- pause and retry file downloads
- download files to a custom destination path

## When to choose
- you need background or resumable downloads in an iOS app without writing URLSession delegate plumbing yourself
- you want a lightweight, battle-tested Swift download manager with CocoaPods/SPM support

## When to avoid
- your project targets platforms other than iOS
- you need modern async/await APIs or active development - the project is in maintenance mode
- your server does not support range requests needed for resuming
