let’s say I’m torrenting a movie, and the torrent is downloading faster than the movie would play, is there any software that can handle a constantly changing file? thanks

    Nobody mentioned Popcorn Time? It is a bit torrent client with an integrated media player. It does exactly what you are asking + it has a great “poster wall” interface.

      Be vary there is a lot of shady versions of PopcornTime.

      Stremio with Torrentio plugin is a decent alternative.

        I remember when PopcornTime was the thing!

        It was everywhere on the news websites haha.

      I was gonna mention this. Popcorntime certainly brought back many memories. I didn’t even realize I was torrenting it, thought it was just a slow alternative to Crackle.
