What version of WebTorrent?
the version on 2019-08-07 dont know where to find the version?!
What operating system and Node.js version?
iOS
What browser and version? (if using WebTorrent in the browser)
tested with Safari,Chrome,Firefox
What actually happened?
Download starts but doesn't play until its fully downloaded

It starts playing when the download completes, so I thought maybe end of file is needed for the iOS player to be able to play the file, but adding this line didn't help:
torrent.critical(torrent.pieces -16777216 / torrent.pieceLength, torrent.pieces);
This is supposed to download the last 16MB of the file, am I correct?

Or maybe there is a way to tell iOS use other player in browser?
My site visitors are starving to be able to stream on iOS, so they can do if I give an instruction

From what I understand, its IOS's lack of Media Source Extensions that prevents real time play on IOS.
