// Torrent stream readahead sizing.

// anacrolix's Reader (SetResponsive + SetReadahead) already prioritises the
// pieces in a window ahead of the read position and re-prioritises on Seek —
// so the playhead→piece-priority feedback is built in. The problem was the
// window: a static 5 MiB is only ~1.6s of a 25 Mbps 4K stream, so playback
// outran the download and stalled. Sizing the window by bitrate (~30s of video)
// keeps a real buffer ahead of the playhead.
