That's not how it works. Several streaming BitTorrent clients specifically request blocks in order so that you can start watching immediately.Not that you need a special client, it works pretty well with the standard client as well on a well seeded torrent, as blocks are generally requested more or less in order.
Thanks. I wasn't aware there were torrent clients that streamed straight to video. The last time I used torrents, it was to download files for later consumption.
I found Usenet feeds more reliable.
Well, yes. Or you could just stream content that is guaranteed to be compatible with the device used.
People on this list would bother to check compatibility. Jane + Thatho just point & click.
They could, and they might even have, I forget, but there is little demand for such a thing as a centralized CDN strategy works better.
Which is why I'm not sure it would work, in today's Internet. Mark.
