Weir, the download manager that remembers
A Mac utility for downloading files and torrents without losing progress when the app, computer, or connection is interrupted.
Field notes
The product combines ordinary file transfers, torrents, and browser-discovered media in a single queue. Its stated recovery model records progress only after bytes reach disk, aiming to make crashes cost seconds rather than an entire file. The page also describes session-aware fetching using the cookies and headers from a signed-in browser, plus playback from partially downloaded bytes. The free tier allows three downloads daily, while the paid tier covers three Macs with no subscription.
