## Overview

Mister Download Manager is a cross-platform desktop download manager with a browser extension and command-line entry point. Users add downloads through the desktop UI or browser integration; the app manages their state and queues, while the engine, torrent support, and archive extraction provide distinct transfer and post-download capabilities. The source index and excerpts establish key app relationships, but do not expose the full runtime wiring among the engine, extension, and app, so those links are omitted or marked unverified.

Main entry points: [`crates/app/src/app.rs`](https://github.com/anefzaoui/misterdownloadmanager/blob/main/crates/app/src/app.rs) (Download manager), [`crates/app/src/main.rs`](https://github.com/anefzaoui/misterdownloadmanager/blob/main/crates/app/src/main.rs) (App startup), [`crates/engine/src/download.rs`](https://github.com/anefzaoui/misterdownloadmanager/blob/main/crates/engine/src/download.rs) (Transfer engine), [`crates/app/src/extractq.rs`](https://github.com/anefzaoui/misterdownloadmanager/blob/main/crates/app/src/extractq.rs) (Extraction queue)
