Allow stop/restart to workaround rate limit. #206

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Likely youtube sometimes heavily rate limits me (10MB/s -> 50kB/s). A download restart solves this.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow me to stop an ongoing download, so I can restart, which almost always solves the rate limit.

Suggestion: The currently present "remove" button could at first click stop the download. The "redo" icon becomes active and I can redo the download, or click the "remove" button (the "X") again to remove it.

Describe alternatives you've considered Removing a partially downloaded item, and re-adding it again. Cumbersome.

Seems a good suggestion
