I rigged up Azureus to do this kind of sequential downloading a long time ago once, and it was quite neat, but I didn't share the patch because I reckoned it would be bad for torrent health if everyone started doing this. Isn't that still true, and with Popcorn and this popping up now, isn't it just a question of time before seeders start recognising and penalising sequential downloaders?

That's also why the addon is using libtorrent-rasterbar (as opposed to peerflix), and tries very hard to do the right thing as to minimaly hurt the swarm (it does, but it tries to make up for it).
