Describe the Feature/Enhancement
Add the ability in mobile clients to cancel an ongoing download (podcast or audiobook) that is currently in progress.
Why would this be helpful?
If a download is slow, unstable, or was started unintentionally, users currently have no clear way to stop it. Being able to cancel an active download would improve control, avoid unnecessary data usage, and prevent the app from getting stuck on long or failing downloads.
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
Use the same button that starts the download, optionally showing a short confirmation.
