Question for hardcore geeks

Is there any bittorrent downloader that prioritizes segments from a file(s) from start to finish?

 

Reason why I ask is that if sometihng like this exists, you could use it to play a bittorrent movie *whilst* you download it.

well that's not strictly true, for a lot of formats you will also require some information present at the end of the file or the keyframes will start going all over the shop. i don't know the answer to your question though.

yeah that's a good point, i didn't think much about that.

 

still, there's gotta be some solution.

That's the nature of torrents, it is a non-linear way of downloading files so that everybody helps the other with the missing parts. You can't do it your way or else, say when a file gets out, everybody is trying to download it, so the person doing the upping can't just give the first part to everybody, it wouldn't work.
