Download
CurlFlow is a simple graphical download manager for Linux. It's written in Python and uses your existing installation of "cURL" to do the downloads. The "initial commit" version was written largely with the help of an LLM as an experiment to see how much work would be involved, for a hobbyist like me, in getting usable code out of free or locally hosted LLMs. Though I have made and will probably continue to make some corrections and changes on my own, most of the original work was done by LLMs such as the "Brave Leo" AI utility (it used Qwen) and my own locally hosted copy of Qwen via the Jan desktop app.
If you'd like to read the source code or view the full git commit history without actually downloading anything, you can do so on GitLab at:

Some files in my releases are digitally signed with my PGP and MiniSign keys. If you'd like to verify those signatures, you can get my public keys at:
