FileDownloader
FileDownloader is an Android HTTP download manager and multi-threaded download engine designed for managing file transfers. It functions as a resumable transfer framework that utilizes a foreground service to maintain persistent background execution and prevent the operating system from terminating active tasks.
The project features a pluggable networking library architecture, allowing the replacement of default network, storage, and database implementations with custom components. It employs a multi-threaded engine that increases transfer speeds by splitting files into chunks for simultaneous retrieval over multiple concurrent connections.
The system includes a download queue for managing tasks by priority and supports breakpoint-resume capabilities through database-backed progress tracking. It provides task control for pausing or canceling jobs, network constraint configuration to limit transfers to specific connection types, and throttled event dispatching to maintain interface performance during real-time monitoring.
