““Note: You will have to download the torrent file before you can watch the movie with RARPlayer.”

Is there something about the word download that you don’t understand? It is impossible to view any file without downloading it. It might be cached as a temp file, it might be viewable as it is being downloaded (streaming), but (let me repeat this just to be clear) it is impossible to view any file without downloading it.”

^^^^^^^ makes more sense than the article

Uses less bandwidth? Depends on your internet speed, if it can, it will tkae one hour to download and watch a one hour movie, if taht’s your normal speed for downloading a file that size, same bandwidth.

Less space? It has the same total downloaded, it jsut deletes as it goes, how is that useful at all. “Hey, I want to download a movie, and watch it only once, it’s still priating, but I dont keep it lol”.
It’s no better than downloading and keeping it, plus if youd ownload the full thing there is no buffering. Just pirate your movies, srs, how much is HDD space tehse days? I bought a 1terrabyte hdd for less than $150nz

This app sounds like it could be the ultimate torrent leech. It grabs the pieces it needs to play, and presumably discards them after they are no longer needed. Those discarded pieces are no longer available for uploading to the swarm. Or does this app even upload ANY pieces back to the swarm???!

I think it’s a bit sad that a “techie” blog such as this can write about an application like this without knowing anything about it. Nice to know you’re just trying to pump out articles here

Next time, try doing your research. Thumbs down.

Sequential downloading defeats the purpose of the torrent swarm. I wonder if this player even uploads back to the swarm. I would guess that it’s just leeching and not contributing to others.

Actually this player DOES download the files in the torrent, just that it forces the segments to download in order and starts playing from a buffer, just like any streaming player, discarding played segments and downloading future segments in advance.
It uses less bandwidth because it doesn’t download all segments in random order like a normal client and less space because it only downloads the piece which it plays and a few pieces in advance.

Well, qwerty, rainking has a point. Also, most of these so-called players you download to watch without downloading the torrents do not work on movies.
