palying inomplete movies

hi,

i can play a movie file only after its around 50-60% complete. the torrent downloads pieces at random.. can it download them in orderly way from start to end??

[torrero]

preferences > advanced > set bt.prio_first_last_piece to true.

Then utorrent tries to download piece 0 first. You can only watch movies, when you got piece 0.

Then stop the torrent and use VirtualDub.org to watch the movie (the parts you already downloaded)

Be aware tho, that if you are watching somthing that is downloading, the player you are using can stop utorrent writing to the file while it's playing

When the file is being played by the player, it locks the file stopping utorrent writing to it, it's happend before to me, utorrent said it had an error and stoped the download, I just closed the player and resumed the download tho.

Or you remove the lock with a program such as Unlocker. This way the player can keep playing and utorrent can keep writing.

However your best option is to copy the file and open that one with your player. Besides different players might or might not be able to play back a incomplete file with or without errors.

If the torrent is rarred you won't be able to do anything with it until its finished.
