Folx

brew install --cask folx v5.34

Download manager with integrated torrent client that splits files across multiple connections.

Why you might care

Folx combines HTTP/FTP downloading with torrent support in one app, offering free multi-threaded downloads and organized queue management. It's useful if you prefer a unified tool rather than separate torrent and download clients, though feature-rich alternatives exist in both categories.
