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.
