[Triage] Timeout when clicking the "Save Source" button

[dvaerum]

Describe the bug When I click "Save Source" I get a timeout and I have no clue as to why except that it seems that maybe the yt-dlp which gets kicked off takes too long.

But I would expect something like that to be sent to a background process

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Sources'
2. Click on 'New Sources'
3. Enter any new YouTube channel example "https://www.youtube.com/@hak5"
4. Click "Save Source"
5. wait around 30 secs for the timeout

Expected behavior When I try to add a new source, I get an "NS_ERROR_NET_RESET" in Firefox after a timeout
