let’s say I’m torrenting a movie, and the torrent is downloading faster than the movie would play, is there any software that can handle a constantly changing file? thanks

edit: basically as long as you tell your torrent client to download sequentially, VLC (and probably most other video players) can just play the file like normal. though as one user pointed out, this may affect dl speeds.

  • I just use Deluge and open the file with VLC and it works so long as the download stream keeps up with the actual video time (IE it doesn’t slow down to where the video reaches the end of what it has finished downloading).
