AudioFetch

Streaming File Transfers

Instead of loading entire files into memory, AudioFetch uses the ReadableStream API to process downloads in chunks. This enables:

• • Memory-efficient handling of large audio files
• • Real-time progress updates as bytes arrive
• • Graceful handling of slow or interrupted connections

Client-Side ZIP Creation

Using JSZip, the app bundles multiple audio files into a single ZIP archive entirely in the browser. Benefits include:

• • No server-side storage or temporary files needed
• • Privacy: files never touch the server disk
• • Reduced server load and bandwidth costs

URL Parsing & HTML Scraping

The server-side API fetches Soundgasm pages and extracts audio URLs using regex pattern matching:

• • Extracts .m4a URLs from page source
• • Multiple fallback methods for title extraction
• • Validates URLs to prevent SSRF attacks

Progress Tracking

React state management provides real-time feedback with:

• • Per-file status: pending → parsing → ready → downloading → completed
• • Percentage progress bars calculated from Content-Length headers
• • Overall batch progress with completed/total counters

Retry Logic with Exponential Backoff

Network requests are wrapped with resilient retry logic:

• • 3 retry attempts with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 3s delays)
• • Graceful error handling that doesn't break batch operations
• • Manual retry button for failed downloads

Filename Sanitization

Robust handling of international characters and edge cases:

• • Unicode normalization (smart quotes → straight quotes)
• • Cross-platform safe filenames (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• • HTTP header encoding with RFC 5987 compliance

Multi-Source User Profile Scanner

Enter a Soundgasm user URL to automatically discover all their audio files using a comprehensive multi-source search strategy:

• • Reddit user submission history - Primary source, most effective for finding content
• • 17 audio-related subreddits - Searches gonewildaudio, pillowtalkaudio, AudioCandy, and more
• • Multiple Reddit sort options - new, relevance, and top to maximize coverage
• • Username mention search - Finds content shared by others mentioning the creator
• • Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo - Best-effort search (often blocked by bot detection)

Real-time progress UI powered by Server-Sent Events (SSE) provides streaming updates showing the current search source, live count of links found, and clean status indicators. Results are automatically deduplicated and seamlessly integrate with the existing batch download functionality. Successfully tested with 187+ unique audio files found for test users.

Note: Reddit and search engines often block requests from cloud servers. For best results with the User Profile Scanner, use the desktop app below.
