I just want to point out the lost art of doing this with .rar files.

Multipart rar files are not actually compressed so I heard and if you get the file headers and download them in order then you can stream a video

Torrents and the associated scene frequently still pack things as multipart rar files. (a holdover from even more inferior methods of transporting large files)

Kodi (XBMC) is still the only client I know that does this, since early 2000s
