    Version 3.5 — Performance & Memory Improvements

    DOWNLOAD SPEED

    • Continuous read pump: data is now read from the network immediately
    as it arrives, not on a timer tick. Each thread no longer waits up
    to 1 second between reads — data flows at full network speed.

    • Timer interval reduced from 1000 ms to 500 ms — twice as frequent
    storage writes and progress updates.

    • Large data bursts are written to IndexedDB in 8 MB zero-copy slices
    (TypedArray.subarray), keeping write sizes uniform.

    MEMORY (large files, 5 GB+)

    • 16 MB backpressure limit in the read pump prevents unbounded RAM
    growth on fast connections.

    • 8 MB early-flush threshold: data is written to IndexedDB as soon as
    8 MB accumulates, instead of waiting for the periodic timer. Peak
    writer buffer stays at ~8 MB per thread (was potentially hundreds of
    MB for large files).

    SINGLE-THREAD DOWNLOADS

    All of the above apply to forced single-thread mode (SourceForge,
    mirrors without Range support). The read pump eliminates the ~1 s
    read delay that was the main bottleneck in this mode.
