I'm using Torrentstorm to download movies. At 128k it takes a while, so i like to make sure im getting good quality\the right film before i waste my time on it.
But video lan, and avi preview can't preview downloading AVI files. Why is this? I liked being able to do it in kazaa lite.
Is it cause im using torrent storm?
no ur not doing anything wrong. to preview u need to get the first chunks of the movie
azureus has an option for this. not sure about others
you may need to close youor client, it may say "antoher program is downloading your pron, if you need a wank now, close the program thats using it" if its open ;/

Would you? Doesn't BT download different chunks of the download? Not from like the fist part to the last like programs like Kazaa? Isn't it a random download thing? Maybe I'm just chatting shit :P

Yes, i listened...and since it is my thread, i guess that is teh only thing that matters.
Thanks you.
Yes, it's pretty random on what chunks you get first. So previewing is basically impossible until you get a lot of the file.Quote:

Like this poster says Azureus can be set to give the first pieces of a file priority. Do this and then switch to "pieces" view. The first piece is numbered 0. When it is in you will be able to preview a small part with VideoLan.Quote:

VideoLan will also skip to later pieces if you wait while it finds them.
