Hi, We hope Mr. Amir @amir1376 is safe, both him and his family and the great Iranian people, and we are very saddened for the innocent victims. May Allah grant them paradise!

So adding sequential download feature vital capital to allowing us to temporarily play TS videos while downloading—ideal when our Wi-Fi connection becomes too weak.

I recently found a new CLI download manager that claims to be faster than Aria2c, with benchmark tests to back it up:

What caught my attention in Surge is this feature:

"Sequential Download: Option to download files in strict order (Streaming Mode). Ideal for media files that you want to preview while downloading."

I'm not an expert, but if it's not too technically complex, it would be great please to add support for Surge as an alternative download engine to take advantage of sequential downloading to preview video while downloading, thanks!
