HLS now downloads with yt-dlp's native parallel-fragment downloader
(--concurrent-fragments 16) instead of aria2c. With aria2c, yt-dlp only
reported overall progress at the very end, so the bar sat on "starting…" then
jumped to 100%. Native reports (frag a/b)continuously, so the bar now
climbs live from the moment the download starts.
Just as fast for HLS (16 fragments in parallel saturate the link) and still
leaves the Downloads folder clean (fragments go to a temp dir, deleted after).
aria2c is still used for direct .mp4 (real-time single-file % + speed).
