Hey Habr!
After reading the publication , I was surprised that there has not yet been published a way to enable the ability to sequentially download files without resorting to additional software like BEncode Editor, but simply and quickly - literally in two clicks.
So:
We turn on sequential downloading of parts of files and sequential downloading of files from the torrent list.
1. Download uTorrent.
2. Hold down the key combination [Shift] + [F2], do not release keys.
3. Click with the keys pressed [Shift] + [F2]: Options -> Preferences -> Advanced.
We see the uTorrent settings with the bt.sequential_download and bt.sequential_files parameters already open for editing
4. Change the value of the first parameter to true - and we get a sequential download of parts of the files - this is exactly what is needed to watch movies while they are being downloaded. If you like, we change the value of the second parameter to true as well - and we get a sequential download of files in the torrent list (and this is useful for downloading, for example, TV series - the series will be downloaded in order, starting from the first.
VoilΓ !
Happy viewing and all.
Tested on uTorrent for Windows 3.4.2.
Does it work under Unix - please let me know in the comments.
