Bittorrent isn't sequential, so it'd be tough to say with any certainty that you have established a buffer. I'm not sure if this is something that's recently changed or not though, I'm no expert either.
- sstrudeau 18y agoBittorrent isn't sequential by design, but you can tweak a torrent client to ask for pieces in order (e.g., Pando, using a bittorrent-like protocol, can do this) -- though if you have a moving target in terms of the set of blocks you are interested in things a get a little more complicated -- a streaming-specific p2p protocol would likely perform better (see comments on this thread for examples).
