bittorrentclient

On windows I used BitComet torrent client which has great feature – download files in preview mode so I can see movies right away.

uTorrent declared to be able to download files in preview mode but in real it doesn't.

Which torrent client has real preview mode?

Best Answer

qBittorrent

qBittorrent developers claim to be producing a "free" alternative to uTorrent.

One of their features is Sequential downloading (aka "Download in order")

However, this feature is with a health warning:

Attempts to download the selected torrents in sequential order. Torrent pieces are usually downloaded in an optimal order which maximizes speed and benefits to the swarm health. Downloading in sequential order is useful for preview files. However, this feature is against Bittorrent protocol recommendations due to its negative effect on the swarm. It is thus discouraged to use this feature. A more detailed explanation of why this feature is bad is available here
