Watch before download is finished?

I'm using Bit Tornado to download an episode of a TV show and was wondering if i could watch the part thats already downloaded.

Because of the way the BitTorrent protocol works, this isn't really feasable. The file you're downloading is almost always missing pieces from the middle. You *could* write a client that could make the beginning of a partially-downloaded file available (up to the first point where you're still missing information), but I don't know of any that do this.

I'm not in front of my home computer right now, but I THINK Azuerus has the option to begin downloading in the front of files. I saw something the other day like that when I was poking around, but I could be completely wrong about what it said or does. But I guess you could give it a try.

Sheesh, just keep it in your pants until the pr0n video ... I mean "TV Show" finishes. Think of it as foreplay or something.

I know I've used programs that let you preview the torrent, but as one mentioned the thing is downloaded in pieces.
