You have to wait for the whole film to finish downloading before you can watch it. This is inconvenient.

I've heard from a friend of mine that torrent clients have streaming mode as well. I.e. packets arrive not randomly, but in order, and as long as your DL speed exceeds 1 second per second, you are fine.

Also downloading a popular 1080p movie takes minutes. I think for my workflow pirating is actually easier than dealing with a decentralised streaming ecosystem without cross app searches.

I've also heard from a friend that qbitorrent supports this (sequential download).
