Is it possible to make sure that the file has started to swing immediately after the first chunk?

Do you mean like, save the chunks by just appending them to the first chunk file? Instead of saving them separately then combining them?

@nehalvpatel sorry for my bad English :) I'll try to explain:
Currently downloader does so:

  1. It takes an array of chunks with api.periscope
  2. Downloads chunks into a temporary folder
  3. Merge into one final file
  4. Gives to download

Is it possible to download chunks and allow the user to download at the same time? i.e:

  1. It takes an array of chunks with api.periscope
  2. Downloads chunks into a temporary folder, Merge into one file AND Gives to download
  3. Download final file gradually

I think you can do this by pushing the chunks one at a time to the user. Not exactly sure on the implementation though. What are you going to use this for?
