Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

I have checked the issues and there didn't seem to be a request for that, I tried configured a minimum seeders on my indexer, but in most cases it will be hit and miss. What I usually try to do is get a download time under 12hours, and while some downloads work, they all indicate 1d+, even with my strong fiber connection.

Describe the solution you'd like

A way to configure, in the download client section, an automatic removal of downloads if they go under a threshold of ETA, for X amount of time (because sometimes the ETA might drop/increase suddenly too).
I think this would be a nice addition to ensure the automated downloads are "robust" and never fail.
A simple way would be to automatically trigger a removal and search again whenever Download warning: The download is stalled with no connections is shown.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manual oversight and constantly checking that chosen downloads are healthy enough. Would require a lot of fiddling to get a good candidate selection.

Anything else?

Nothing else !
