:gear: Brisk's Download Engine

Brisk is powered by a custom-built, high-performance engine that delivers the maximum download speed throughout the entire download process. The engine is built entirely from scratch only using Dart's http, without relying on external libraries or download utilities like aria2.

The key features of the engine include:

• Dynamic Connection Spawn: Downloads starts with a single connection and as they progress, new connections are added on the fly. This ensures that a higher number of connections are used only when necessary.
• Dynamic Connection Reuse: After a connection completes receiving its designated byte range, it is immediately reassigned to assist another connection. As a result, the engine maintains as many active connections as possible, ensuring that download speeds remain consistently at their peak.
• Downloading M3U8 Streams: Brisk is able to capture and download M3U8 video streams from the browser (requires Brisk Browser Extension)
• Automatic connection reset: Hanging connections will be reset automatically.

:globe_with_meridians: Browser Integration

Brisk offers a dedicated browser extension with the following features:

• Capturing download requests from the browser and directly adding them to Brisk
• Extracting all download links from a selected text area and adding them to Brisk all at once
• Capturing m3u8 video streams from the browser

Please refer to the brisk-browser-extension repository for installation.
