Affected version

0.24.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Have a lot of Downloads already (100 or 200)
2. Open the "Downloads" section via the sidebar (Alternatively try to initiate a download on a new video)
3. Notice nothing is shown for a few seconds. The more existing downloads you have, the longer it takes to display
4. At some point the list (or download dialog shows), along with a system modal "NewPipe isn’t responding". Just clicking "Wait" on there works so you can continue.

Expected behavior

• Either the behavior could be the same as when you have not so many videos, in that it shows instantly (entries further down in the list can always be loaded in the background)
• Or if that is difficult, a first step could be some loading feedback

Actual behavior

It takes several seconds without any feedback for the list content (or the download modal) to show up.
