The underlying architecture of the download system in the Vimeo app is currently in the middle of the open-sourcing process. If you can wait a few weeks you will have access to it. If not, there are plenty of other open-sourced "download" systems out there such as:

android-priority-jobqueue

tape

robospice

Ultimately, none of these met the exact needs of the Vimeo app, so we decided to write our own. I'll try to update this answer when it is available.
