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.

    With what API servers? The official ones were taken down.

      I don’t know but it still works. Used it just the other day to find a version I couldn’t get via normal means. I’m guessing some sort of magnet search?

        I might have to check it out again. Haven’t used it for years and figured it was officially dead. Thanks
