Question

How to run movie which is partially downloaded from torrent?

Answer 1

Hi!

You would be lucky to play a partially downloaded movie, but the only way to try is double clicking it like normal. The chances are it won't work though because torrents download using "pieces" so instead of starting at the beginning of the movie and downloading to the end it randomly downloads bits everywhere.

Answer 2

well i used VLC media player, you can listen to songs aswell as watching movies.

there should be a website where you can download for less than 10 seconds and totally free. :)

Edit: i used this one http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

but i think that this is the newer one

The way torrents work, they divide a file into hundreds of small parts, and download different parts from different sources at the same time.  Which parts they download depends on which parts they find. So if a movie is divided into 120 one minute parts, you usually are not getting minute 1, then 2, then 3, etc.  You are getting minute 23, then 118, then 4, then 16, then 55, then 34, etc.  You may not get the opening minutes of the movie until the very end of the download.  Because the movie is not being downloaded in order, there is no practical way to be able to watch the movie until the download is complete.

Answer 4

not sure but you could try clicking on" film file '

it may give you the option to "preview"

hope this helps
