I noticed that my BT client (µTorrent) already has a 'STREAM' button on downloading torrents.

  That would violate the bittorrent protocol, which explicitly says that clients must not bias their choices of chunks. And consider that if all clients did so, the peer-to-peer mechanism would stop working for the later chunks.
