    You don't need to cancel the file. Well, I havn't the last few times. (maybe i have a more recent version of both software). Just use Video Lan Client (VLC) and preview it. works good, but remember bittorent downloads in strange orders.

    If you right click the file then you can use Avipreview or the like to look at the movie.

    However the download is chunks from all over the file, so it can take a while before you have a decent chunk at the start of the file to review.

    Sometimes it works early doors, however often you need to have 50% or more of the file before you can preview it.

    That is my experience.

    Always remember to remove old codec packs, before loading new ones.

    This helps to avoid conflicts which stops the codec working.

    you don&#39;t need that much with videolan, just a few mb&#39;s, the important part is the very beginning and the end, it needs that as reference points, at least in videolan
