ways to watch a torrent while it's downloading? (kbin.social)

let's say I'm torrenting a movie, and the torrent is downloading faster than the movie would play, is there any software that can handle a constantly changing file? thanks

edit: basically as long as you tell your torrent client to download sequentially, VLC (and probably most other video players) can just play the file like normal. though as one user pointed out, this may affect dl speeds.

As others mentioned, Stremio + Torrentio is amazing. Just make sure you use, preferably, RealDebrid with it. If you can't use RD, you can use a VPN, but it will cost you some playback speed.

PopcornTime as others have mentioned is amazing, but sadly I haven't heard much about it lately. Honestly, Stremio + Torrentio is way better though in my opinion. It's easy to set up and has a ton of shows.
