Stream or Play a video directly without downloading from Torrent.

You have got a High Speed connection and you watch movies a lot. For that you start download from torrent and wait for the movie to finish downloading. Have you ever thought how much time you are wasting while waiting the movie to finish downloading? What if I tell you that you can watch that movie without any wait and without downloading it? It would be cool right?
Moreover, the movie you thought would be in good print reveals itself to be in a shitty format, maybe recorded by a camera, etc. So here I am to tell you how to stream a video in torrent without downloading it. With it you will be able to watch movie without any wait and without any download.

Now, there are hundreds of software that let you stream or play videos directly from torrent. But I'm going to show you how to make it work with softwares you probably already have.

Things you need:

For this you will need three things:
1. Maybe a torrent of a movie or any video.
2. uTorrent Software (or any other torrent downloading software like BitTorrent, etc. uTorrent is small compact, so I would recommend it.)
3. VLC media player (or any other media playing software which allows network streaming.)

These two softwares are very popular and everybody almost have it. If you use another torrent software, it must have the streaming capability too. If you have another media player, be sure to check that if it contains network streaming or anything like that.

So the process is very simple. I would tell you very simply with Images.

Process:

First you need a torrent file for the movie. If you are new to this, and you don't know stuff about downloading movies from torrent, wait for some time and I will publish a blog on it.




 So when you have added the torrent, I need you to select that torrent.


When you have selected it, go to the files tab in the bottom. Here you will see the bunch of files you are downloading.



After that right-click on the movie file. Not anything else, but the movie file. It will be a video file with .mkv .mp4 .mov or any other video extension.
Now click on "Copy stream URL".


Now you have copied the URL through which you can stream this video.

For doing this, I need you to Open VLC media player.
Now on the top-left portion, click on the "Media" menu. Click it and you will see an option of "Open Network Stream". Click it.

Or you can press Ctrl+N for a shortcut.

Now in the network stream window, right click and paste the URL and click play.

There you go, your video will start playing online. You can add subtitles like any other movie by downloading it from internet.

Also, there is no need to download the movie for watching it. You can stop the Torrent or close uTorrent. The video will still play.
Cool Right?

Now next time you want to are in a hurry to watch any movie and you don't want to wait, streaming it online would be a good idea.
Also if you want to check the quality of the movie before downloading it and wasting your precious data, you can stream it online to check its quality.

Cheers. :)
