Surge is designed for power users who prefer a keyboard-driven workflow. It features a beautiful Terminal User Interface (TUI) , as well as a background Headless Server and a CLI tool for automation. --- Why use Surge? Most browsers open a single connection for a download. Surge opens multiple (up to 32), splits the file, and downloads chunks in parallel. But we take it a step further: - Blazing Fast: Designed to maximize your bandwidth utilization and download files as quickly as possible. - Multiple Mirrors: Download from multiple sources simultaneously. Surge distributes workers across all available mirrors and automatically handles failover. - Sequential Download: Option to download files in strict order (Streaming Mode). Ideal for media files that you want to preview while downloading. - Daemon Architecture: Surge runs a single background \"engine.\" You can open 10 different terminal tabs and queue downloads; they all funnel into one efficient manager. - Beautiful TUI: Built with Bubble Tea & Lipgloss, featuring customizable palettes and full theme engine support. For a deep dive into how we make downloads faster (like work stealing and slow worker handling), check out our Optimization Guide . --- Support the Project We are just two CS students building Surge in between classes and exams.
