Popcorn Time

Have You guys heard of it?

It's a bittorrent streamer. It downloads the video sequentially (so it can be streamed) and seeds as you watch.
It is designed to be similar to netflix in appearance.

I have some problems with the concept though, sequential downloading of files negatively effects bittorrent performance and seeding only as you watch makes watching older seasons of less popular TV shows a PITA, as there's often not enough seeders.

It works really well for popular stuff though.

    I have heard of it, I think utorrent has that feature as well, but as you pointed out, it does have its drawbacks, I prefer just downloading the whole file and then watching it later.
