Is it possible to do something like this for torrent ? Similar thing exist for Usenet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkEJeDXgCp8

An interesting fact about this, is that VLC supports playback of .zip archives, but not .rar files.

it supports .rar files. i never unpack my rars - i can just doubleclick the .rar files and it opens up in VLC.

however, it seems like .rar files do not like being streamed
