I would try to remove libcurl from the project to make it easier to use and depend on less dependencies. So switching to Beast would be a potential solution in the future.

The write function for download currently downloads each part to a temporary file on the disk and then joins them to create the final file. However, it would be much more efficient to do this in memory. I.E writing to a object instead of a file. We would then join all these chunks to create the final file.

An example of this in C can be seen here

The current progress method for the download function attempts to draw a progress bar and update it however, due to the multiple threads working at once it looks messy and spammy.
