Show a live "~Xm left" countdown on the download progress bar. The slskd download
loop already polls byte transfer every 3s; measure the actual throughput (EWMA-
smoothed bytes/sec), compute seconds-remaining from the album's total bytes, and
surface it. New nullable Job.downloadEtaSeconds (migration; web entrypoint runs
prisma migrate deploy), threaded through the on_progress callback (optional 2nd arg,
so other adapters/callers are unaffected — they report no ETA). API exposes it;
queue.tsx renders etaLabel() after the track count. Null when unknown (no sample yet
or a source that doesn't report bytes). Worker 330 tests, web 214 tests, both green;
verified live-rendered as "42% · 6/14 tracks · ~4m left".

Draining the queue via Soulseek was stalling: slow peers (~100KB/s) never finished a
full FLAC album within the fixed 10-min timeout, got cancelled at ~89%, and the
fall-through restarted from scratch on the next peer — while single-song folders named
like the album were also being tried.
- Stall detection: abandon a peer with no byte progress for ~90s (queued/dead) instead
of waiting the full timeout; a peer that IS progressing keeps its slot up to a 60-min
backstop, so a slow-but-working transfer can finish.
- Rank search candidates by peer: free upload slot, then speed, then shortest queue.
- Drop candidates with far fewer tracks than the release (single-song folders) up front,
so no download attempt is wasted on them.

Two compounding causes of 'many downloads of one album from different sources' in
slskd: (1) the slskd client raised on timeout/error WITHOUT cancelling the transfer
it enqueued, so as the pipeline fell through to other peers each left a transfer
running; (2) the incomplete-download fall-through was uncapped, grinding through
every candidate of a popular album (~200 Soulseek peers), amplified now that Qobuz
pacing pushes most jobs to Soulseek.
- SlskdClient.download now cancels its enqueued transfers (DELETE) on any abandon.
- The download loop caps at _MAX_DOWNLOAD_ATTEMPTS (6) candidates.
