## What it is
PRDownloader is an Android file downloader library written in Java that supports pause and resume of downloads, including resume after app kill via a database. It handles any file type, large files, parallel requests, cancellation, and progress/status callbacks through a simple interface.

## Use cases
- download files like images, videos, pdfs, and apks in an android app
- pause and resume file downloads in android
- resume downloads after the app is killed
- download large files on android with progress callbacks
- make multiple parallel download requests in android
- cancel ongoing downloads in an android app

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dedicated download manager for Android with pause/resume support
- you want simple callbacks for progress, start, cancel, and error events
- you need to download large files or many files in parallel on Android

## When to avoid
- you are not building an Android app
- you need a full networking stack with request/response handling beyond downloads
- you prefer a maintained solution bundled with modern networking libraries like OkHttp or WorkManager
