Sequential Download / Preview Mode Download in µTorrent

Generally when a torrent starts downloading, it fetches pieces randomly.

BUT, using this tiny trick the pieces can be downloaded sequentially. This helps preview of a video file from the beginning of download. One doesn't have to wait until the entire video file is downloaded.

Required Application : BEncode Editor

1. Open 'BEncode Editor.exe'. Go to File > Open

2. Browse to directory 'C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent' and open the 'settings.dat' file.

3. Click on Add.

4. Add a new key 'bt.sequential_download'. [As: Top | Type: Integer | Value: 1]. Press OK & save the file from 'File > Save'. Then Exit the Editor & restart µTorrent. DONE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the same file would be downloaded according to the sequential piece order.

UNDO this Process

1. Open the 'settings.dat' file using the editor similar way.
2. Select the key 'bt.sequential_download' & hit 'Remove'.

3. Then save the file the similar way from 'File > Save'. Exit the editor & restart µTorrent. DONE.
