Just a couple of not-very-deep comments: The service did nothing at all on Chrome with ad-block-plus installed. On Firefox the service did show some very nice blue balls moving from left to right after I did a search on some common video content and selected it, but that was about it.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can. BitTorrent doesn't order file fragments by design, but clients can choose to ignore this and request pieces in order. See Popcorn time and many other implementations out there.
Why don't the other clients in the swarm penalize the client for this behaviour? Downloading all the fragments in order means that if the initial uploader drops off, everyone is stuck.
It kinda works here because the shared files are already very popular, and there's a lot of seeders (ie peers who have 100% of the file and can share any part).
It wouldn't work for unpopular files.

#67I can confirm that it works in Chrome. (I tried with a Korra episode. It started playing almost instantly, with a few image glitches here and there.)
