I’m working on a cross-platform fast multithreaded HTTP / FTP downloader that will download much more quickly than other clients like FileZilla, hash check files, perform follow up operations (like extracting RARs or deleting files on the remote,) and have a nice graphical UI that runs in the browser and allows local/remote/cloud control. It’s early (started last week) so there’s not much done yet, but if you’re interested, would love a star or watch: https://github.com/lukevp/Speedful

Back on dial up we used browser plugin (or even separate windows app) download managers which did a lot of that
