Throttle visible download snapshots at 500 ms from 250 queue items, align speed visualizations to the same cadence, preserve small-queue responsiveness, and retain the stronger protection for very large queues.

+### Live updates
+
+- Reduced visible download, remaining-volume, speed, ETA, and availability refresh churn for queues with 250 or more items by using a calm 500 ms cadence.
+- Updated live speed sparklines and the bandwidth chart to redraw every 500 ms instead of every 250 ms.
+- Kept small queues responsive and retained the stronger 700 ms protection for queues with 1,500 or more items.
