Using "Seedbox" in the name is very misleading then... I would have been excited to see a Stremio style alternative that actually downloads and seeds content for an extended period of time.

That's just a standard torrent client + media player combo, isn't it?

Although a standard torrent client doesn't download any file sequentially.

Huh? Did I misunderstand you - many torrent clients today allow you to download a file sequentially?
