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
- I can see the quality of the file as I am downloading it and I can remove it if I don’t like it.
- 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.
Hey this is exactly what I was looking for some days ago. Then an app was published on flathub called Muktiplex. It allows you to download and stream torrents directly through mpv. I watched Ahsoka only through this but I have to warn you: it is very new and it can crash sometimes but other than that it just fills this usage gap perfectly!
Edit: I have seen all the other comments and they either propose no solution at all (“just download the torrent”) or they name some proprietary websites which also didn’t really work for me. So I really think Multiplex comming as a nice looking gtk flatpak has a great potential.
hey, thank you!
Have you found it?
yeah, one I can vouch for is
qbittorrent, it works. Just choose download the first and last pieces first and open destination folder, play like a normal file, except you won’t be able to fast forward, I am pretty sure there are apps which can do this though, but for the time being this is enough for me. Also, look at the post again, I have summarized the comments, you probably will find it very helpfulWell you can do just that with Multiplex lol
