I recently came across a very cool tool called Surge. It’s a blazing-fast, open-source TUI download manager built in Go for power users, with a clean keyboard-driven workflow.
What makes it fun is that it doesn’t treat downloads as a single stream. Surge opens multiple connections, splits the file into chunks, and pulls them down in parallel, while also supporting multiple mirrors with automatic failover. It even has a streaming mode if you want sequential downloading for previewing media.
It runs as a background engine so you can queue downloads from any terminal tab, and the TUI looks great while staying lightweight and focused.
