This page contains a tiny modification to Azureus allowing it to download torrent pieces in order. With it you can view your video while it downloads (using vlc or mplayer for example).

Description

To install, download the compiled .jar below and replace it in your Azureus directory.

The patch is just one line, that will put more priority on the first pieces, if you select Download pieces in order from Tools→Options→Transfer. With this disabled, downloading happens normally.

Be sure to rename the .jar file to Azureus2.jar after downloading.

If Azureus asks to upgrade to a new version, you should either check this page for a matching .jar (and send me a mail to compile one if I haven’t already), or not upgrade to the new version.

Here is how the download progresses using the patch:

Drop me a note at harjoc (removethis) gmail dot com if you want the .jar compiled for a newer version.
