How to make utorrent stream video files and download pieces sequentally

Edit 2014-05-08

Don't use utorrent, use
http://qbittorrent.sourceforge.net/
It's gnu opensource, cross platform windows/linux/mac/bsd
Watch the video at the bottom for more details

EDIT 2014-03-28
 (This seems to be removed from certain versions of torrent, I recommend version 3.2.2 build 28500
http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/13668/ )


I never seem to be able to get utorrent + vlc or the built in player to stream videos properly.. 

So I figured out how to "hack" it into doing just as I wished, and download each piece sequentially so I can watch videos as they download.

To do this I went to advance settings and changed two options:
First set bt_prio_first_last_piece to true


Second, set streaming.min_buffer_piece to something ridiculously high such as 1000.



Then click the stream button and it should start downloading all the pieces in order nicely.
Now you can open in a regular media player such as media player classic.

And here is a demonstration of it working:

The "Third world" war

This is an excerpt from Counter Intelligence episode four, about an hour in, after they finish explaining how the US army targeted and destroyed the water treatment infrastructure of Iraq in the early 1990s causing the estimated deaths of over half a million Iraqi children.


Like psychological warfare itself, demonstrative violence is is as old as civilization. One of the most brutal forms would also become the symbol of one of the worlds great religious. Crucifictions were not only a means of torture and execution but demonstration to other would-be rebels.

Alexander's attitude towards defiance was either 'join me or die.' Alexander begins what would become the longest and the most brutal siege of his campaign. After seven grueling months when the walls are finally breached, seven thousand Tyrians are killed and thirty thousand enslaved. To prove a point to other cities that might resist, he has two thousand Tyrian fighters crucified.

When he was finished he allowed the bloodlust of his men to run loose and kill every, virtually every male inhabitant of the fortress, an awful display of brutality, but it was also very effective in showing any potential enemies what could happen if they resisted.

Just as Alexander made an example of Tyre, the American army would make an example of Fallujah. On March 31st 2004, four mercenaries working for Blackwater USA were captured and killed by the Iraqi resistance, their bodies dragged through the streets. 

What followed was one of the greatest war crimes in modern history. Sealing off Fallujah, and forcing adult males and teenage boys to remain, over half of the entire city was razed to the ground.

We were told going into Fallujah, into the combat area, that every single person that was walking talking and breathing was an enemy combatant. As such every single person that was walking down the street or in their house was a target.

In addition to heavy artillery and 2000 pound bombs, American troops deployed the chemical weapon white phosphorous, which burns through human flesh like acid.

The same chemical weapon was used by Israel in its 2009 assault against Gaza, a city where the majority of the population is made up of children. Depleted uranium weapons have also been used in these conflicts, despite overwhelming evidence that they cause severe health risks and contamination of the environment..........

......Just as the spraying of agent orange in Vietnam would lead to an explosion in cancer rates and birth defects, the use of white phosphorous and other munitions have produced similar results in cities like Fallujah. A study from July 2010 (a more recent one) showed a twelve fold increase in childhood cancer in the city. It also reported that an incredible 14.7 percent of children are now born with birth defects, more than fourteen times the figure recorded for Hiroshima.....

....Arabs who resist occupation with armed self defence, or conversely, adopt the tactics of their oppressors, by engaging in acts of terrorism, are widely portrayed as being motivated by religion. Yet an actual study of the subject came to the opposite conclusion. The study was conducted at the University of Chicago's project on security and terrorism. Among other revelations, it revealed that more than ninety-five percent of all suicide attacks are in response to foreign occupation, not religion.


And that was a bit more than five minutes of  the video... Watch the rest if you dare, History will judge for ignorance, if the oppressed masses do not first








And if you think it's over

Time lapse videos

I thought I'd make a playlist of all the videos I've made that are made of frames shot over time.

Several were shot with my GoProHero 3, several with my Minolta maxxum 5d, and a few with my old Sony HDR-sr10

They should be all HD, some are 2.7k and some various 4k resolutions
