Most clients support this in some way. In qBittorrent it's a context menu option, for example.

Likewise Tixati, on a per-file basis you can ask for a sequential download (prioritise downloading the file in sequential order) and "head and tail" (further prioritise the first and last 500k, as some file formats require a header and a footer to start using).
