edit: I am using Debian Stable, so though I have Transmission the transmission I have is the older one released in 2020. So, unfortunately, I can’t use the latest greatest thing (unless I use flatpaks), I have however chosen to use qb and I like it as well! Thank you all

Two uses I think I would have from this app

  1. I can see the quality of the file as I am downloading it and I can remove it if I don’t like it.
  2. I can obviously watch the movie or show I want to watch without waiting for it to be downloaded.

I am using Transmission now and I love it, but yeah, this would be a good addition.

PS: I do realize this would most likely work only for torrents with good number of seeders.

        Sequential order just means downloads files in sequential orders, you can’t for instance watch a 2 hour Linux ISO documentary until the file is downloaded.

        There is a plugin for VLC which does allow this though, but I don’t remember the name of it. No need for external torrent software, just plop a magnet link in VLC, or a torrent file, and it’ll start streaming the legal Linux ISO documentary.

          I found the gentoo iso really hard to watch, couldn’t really finish is

          Debian was good though, 10/10 would watch again
