Is it possible to select quality of the video?

Can we ask it to resume at specific point without wasting bandwidth in redownloading?

it doesn't convert the video since most video on torrents is h.264 which is supported almost universally among browsers and devices. It only converts the audio if it's not in AAC, which defaults to 128k. It also doesn't download the whole video at once, you can seek as you like using your desired player.

It's really nice, I'll test it out and post my feedback. Thank you for making this.
