Description
During hashing, client and master alike don't immediately exit. Perhaps it would be best to kill asyncio tasks immediately instead of trying to play nice.
Master doesn't write any files, and peers (re)hash their files anyway, so file corruption isn't really an issue.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the client and master handle Ctrl-C while hashing, including the asyncio task shutdown paths. Check whether either side writes files during shutdown and how peers re-hash transferred files; done means both processes exit promptly without leaving an unsafe partial transfer.
