 Coolness: 340340 | you can't. it's a completely corrupted file until it's 100% . |

 Coolness: 147000 | torrent files are cut into tiny chunks that are downloaded according to some complicated algorithm, which approximately amounts to "random"... so there's no way you can read incomplete torrent files |

 Coolness: 133710 | YOU CAN view it with VLC if it's like at 99.9% depending on the video codec
and it will fuck somewhere cuz it ain't finish, it worked for me with .mkv files |

| Coolness: 340340 | nah, viewing a 99.9% done file (if it's 700megs) will cut out every few seconds. it'd be impossible to watch/listen to an incomplete torrent.. |

| Coolness: 84550 | not completely true neo...
if a torrent contains multiple files and one of those files completes before the rest of the torrent, you can totally watch it... happens rarely though... it happened to me when i downloaded a season of arested development... I watched the first 2 episodes before the torrent was finished it was at like 97% and i felt cool... |

| Coolness: 340340 | well that's different, if it's got many files in the torrent, it's possible one file will finish to completion..
most torrents work with block sizes that are around 100k each. if you're missing 0.01% of a 700meg file (standard divx movie).. that's 70,000 missing blocks.. which is more than enough to fuck up your watching it. |

| Coolness: 133710 | thats what i was saying IT DEPENDS ON THE CODEC.
and no its not exactly like that its not necessary like each block will miss a part and most torrents are 2.1 megs blocks it might have a lot of full completed block enough to not fuck it up and some might fuck, .mkv and .ogm works not that bad at 99.9% even divx's...it might just fuck for about maybe 10 mins or so or not, but u could like if its not THAT much corrupt extract each good frame out of it and re-encode a non-corrupted file with the badframes cutted out, really not sure about that but it could work if u have really a lot of time to spend editing your file and that your certain that you'll never have it at 100.00% :P |

 Coolness: 194700 | also if you keep the option "DOWNLOAD BEGINNING AND END OF FILE FIRST", you will get the headers of files and ending indexes, often allowing to view incomplete movies (as kuzut said correctly depending on the codec) |

| Coolness: 340340 | you'll also get it a lot slower.. |
