mangofetch-core 0.3.1

Core download engine for MangoFetch
Documentation

πŸ₯­ MangoFetch

Brutally fast. Extensible. Pure Rust.
The download engine the terminal deserves.


Why MangoFetch?

Most downloaders are either too bloated or too fragile. MangoFetch is neither. It's a high-performance download engine wrapped in a minimalist, brutalist terminal interface.

Built with Tokio for high-concurrency and Reqwest for rock-solid networking, it handles everything from a single YouTube short to massive batch archival tasks without breaking a sweat.

The Good Stuff:

  • πŸš€ Zero Bloat: Instant startup, minimal memory footprint.
  • ⚑ Async Everything: Powered by Rust's async runtime.
  • πŸ› οΈ Self-Healing: Automatically manages yt-dlp and ffmpeg dependencies.
  • 🎨 Brutalist UI: Information-dense, distraction-free progress tracking.
  • πŸ“¦ Platform Agnostic: 1000+ sites supported via the core engine + native extractors for the big players.
  • πŸ”Œ SDK Ready: Extend it with your own Rust plugins.
