Or, I just right click and select sequential download so I can start watching a movie immediately. This logic of breaking everything down into the tiniest possible bits is how we ended up with ridiculousness like the lpad debacle.
Well, torrent client should leech and seed very fast and very efficient, watching videos is not on this list. XMLRPC also makes it convenient and expandable.
And sequential downloads are bad for swarm, please don't do this.
Just because your use case is different from others does not invalidate all other use cases.
Also, there's a reason no clients support sequential download as a default option. Having the very occasional download where I would like to start watching immediately upon starting the download is not going to break the swarm, or even affect it.
Tragedy of the commons.
