From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey this is exactly what I was looking for some days ago. Then an app was published on flathub called Muktiplex. It allows you to download and stream torrents directly through mpv. I watched Ahsoka only through this but I have to warn you: it is very new and it can crash sometimes but other than that it just fills this usage gap perfectly!
Edit: I have seen all the other comments and they either propose no solution at all ("just download the torrent") or they name some proprietary websites which also didn't really work for me. So I really think Multiplex comming as a nice looking gtk flatpak has a great potential.
hey, thank you!
Have you found it?
yeah, one I can vouch for is
qbittorrent
, it works. Just choose download the first and last pieces first and open destination folder, play like a normal file, except you won't be able to fast forward, I am pretty sure there are apps which can do this though, but for the time being this is enough for me. Also, look at the post again, I have summarized the comments, you probably will find it very helpfulWell you can do just that with Multiplex lol
