🎯 Problem Statement

I'm always frustrated when I have to download a file first, then upload it to the web UI (it doubles the disk usage) and only then split the file (it triples the disk usage)

💡 Proposed Solution

Incorporate a downloader (like wget for cli, yt-dlp for youtube and etc) to the Web UI to allow the user just paste a link, download the file and split it right away

🔄 Alternatives Considered

👤 Use Case / Persona
