Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, definitely! Let's say after choosing a source and waiting for the video to be buffered and then maybe watching something like 1 minute or less, I may decide to go back to the list of sources and choose another source of the same movie/episode. The problem is, the downloading process of the previous stream keeps running/downloading in the background instead of terminating its connections to proceed with the new source and thus resulting in spending unnecessary bandwidth.

Here is a record of it

Describe the solution you'd like A some sort of small popup menu/list that displays active downloading/uploading status of streams of movies or episodes located in the corner of the window except the player screen. This popup can have a small ⏯/❌buttons to stop/resume download process that are running in the background.

Something like this image

Describe alternatives you've considered After clicking the ❌button under "Continue Watching" section, it should at least kill the downloading process immediately rather than restarting the app to avoid having a video to be downloaded. image
