ways to watch a torrent while it's downloading? (kbin.social)

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.

Qbittorrent let's you set a torrent to download in sequential order and download first and last pieces first. This let's me play files as they are downloading.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but isn't this the idea behind WebTorrent? You can play a movie while its downloading from a torrent.

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