• The system proxy, or a custom HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy with sign-in and a list of hosts that skip it
• Automatic retries, and fresh links for expired downloads (Update Link)
• Sorting into folders by kind, duplicate detection, SHA-256 checksums
• Extracting zip, tar and 7z archives, then opening or showing the result in Finder, when they finish
• Menu bar progress, Dock progress, and notifications
• Links from other apps through Services → Download with Haul, or haul://add?url=<encoded link>
• A haul command: haul add <link>… opens the links in the Add panel (Haul → Install Command Line Tool…)
• A Safari extension: right-click a link and choose Download with Haul (turn it on in Safari → Settings → Extensions). Links download signed in, with Safari's cookies for the site
