Which client are you using?

I'm using BitTornado and you could just click on "details" to see the percentage. Then if your torrent file have 2 or more movies, you could select one of them and click "never download". This will allow you to at least see one of the movies you downloaded.

I skimmed through this page and it might help you a tiny bit. It's about shareaza but I remember bitTorrent is in shareaza.

" First up is probably the most obvious - Simply add another source for the download. If you can find a different Torrent of the same file, you can right-click on your stalled download and use the 'Add Source' option under 'Advanced' to try and use it. Simply copy and paste the URL of the Torrent you've found, click 'Download', and Shareaza will do the rest. "

" The second option available to you is to switch to a different tracker, in the hope of finding more sources and restarting the download that way. To do this, again right-click your download and visit 'Torrent Info' under 'Advanced'. This will show you details of the file you are trying to get, including the number of seeders and downloaders and the tracker being used. If you know of an alternate tracker to try, then simply replace the URL listed with the new one, and hit close. Shareaza will then ask you if you want to use this new tracker - Click Yes here and Shareaza will the try to contact and use this new tracker. "

" Can I pre-view files with AVI preview or videoLAN: This is a yes and no question, I just depends upon what part of the file you downloaded first. If you are lucky you may download the first part and hence you will be able to preview avi and other video files. "

So there you have it. Good Luck saschaeh.
