I’m supposed to use an extra program to download a torrent in sequential order?

Depends why you want it. If you want it to reduce fragmentarion, then just enable fallocate. If you want it to download files in sequence, then XML RPC. If you want file to be downloaded in very inefficient way, then be patient.

Or, I just right click and select sequential download so I can start watching a movie immediately. This logic of breaking everything down into the tiniest possible bits is how we ended up with ridiculousness like the lpad debacle.

Well, torrent client should leech and seed very fast and very efficient, watching videos is not on this list. XMLRPC also makes it convenient and expandable.

And sequential downloads are bad for swarm, please don’t do this.
