dlm_rust (Download Manager)

A TUI-based asynchronous Download Manager that leverages the power of IPC.
Built with ratatui for the terminal interface and tokio-console for async task monitoring.

---

📝 NOTE

Currently only supports UNIX systems due to the use of Unix Domain Socket for IPC.
Windows support via named_pipe is planned. (Work In Progress).
Uncomment this console_subscriber::init(); on server/src/main.rs to use tokio-console.

• backend directory: Contains core downloading logic (pausing/resuming via thread locking).
• View directory: Handles the TUI interface.
