The speed is achieved by initially splitting the file(s) to pieces, sending the pieces to the clients in the network and then all the clients will share and merge the different pieces. Statistically, you should expect to be missing key parts of the beginning of the video until the transfer is almost complete. A large reason why torrents are faster or more efficient than an ordered transfer of a file is due to the fact that torrents pick the easy fruits - whatever parts of the file are available from the least loaded / closest source are what get downloaded first. This is simply because torrents are designed to transfer big sets of data fast. While many clients allow you to prioritise the files, prioritising pieces is less common. On Windows I've used GOM Player, which was more laid-back with missing frames. Seeking is a bit limited and I don't remember correctly if VLC stops when encountering a (too long) gaps in video. VLC can start the playback of a file if the file's headers are downloaded (first pieces of the file). Although you could cope with slower connection, if you download enough buffer for playback.
TRIBLER NOT STARTING SOFTWARE
A video player software that doesn't mind about incomplete video files.The final step is to to play the file after the downloading started:
TRIBLER NOT STARTING MOVIE
Download and associate movie files with mplayer (avi, mkg): playing incomplete files (and reindexing them, which allows navigation).arrow keys navigation (I can't live without that).lots of options (boosting volume, control of cache on streams, indexing.).plays almost anything (although very rarely it crashes and burns).The player is and always has been mplayer (I don't know why the domain is Hungarian) If the movie is 1.5 hours and the ETA is 17 minutes, then the speed is sufficient. How can we tell if the speed is good enough? By the estimated time of arrival (ETA): You can see that while downloading it downloads as a normal torrent client – the parts are downloaded randomly:Īfter that we can see that the rest of the file is being downloaded sequentially (blue – downloaded, green – requested): There's new client I found thanks to It is called qbittorrent and it is awesome. It didn’t have a polished GUI and took a little bit too much CPU while downloading. It is developed by a technology institute in Zurich. We need a connection that is faster than the movie’s bitrate (and a torrent with enough peers obviously).
We need a player that supports playing incomplete files.We need a torrent client that can download the movie file parts in order, not randomly.
