Channel is not updating properly even though the channel is most popular on Tribler.

fetching the *.mdblob.lz4 files is fast (takes minutes)
crawling the DHT is slow (takes hours)

crawling the DHT is necessary to get the current seeder/leecher count
but maybe we can move other metadate to the *.mdblob.lz4 files?
