play rar files (movies) while downloading...

[GCMartijn]

H!

I'm trying to connect 2 programs to one cool thing.
that is
[fast internet] > [sabnzbd , downloading a movie in rar format on a location] > [xmbc] = 'streaming tv'

I started my topic at the sabnzbd forum here:
http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=771.0

To make the question simple:
Is it possible to play a rar file while the parts are still downloading.
Now I have to wait till 4GB is downloaded, but then I can start the movie direct.

Thanks,

Yes it's possible to do this, i yet never used it myself, but a colleague uses it all the time.

I read somewhere that this was broken in some of the ported versions?!?!?

But it should work.
